Overview United Veterinary Care
is delighted to host veterinary students for externships! This valuable clinical experience will let you take what you’ve learned in the classroom and put it to the test in an animal hospital of your choice. Our hands‑on externships are designed exclusively for veterinary students at AVMA‑accredited veterinary schools in their clinical years, typically their 3rd or 4th year of vet school. Since every student has different interests, we are excited to offer these programs at a wide variety of our amazing partner hospitals. We know that travel and lodging expenses for externships can often be cost‑prohibitive on a student’s budget. To make our externships as accessible as possible, we offer stipends to externs to help offset these costs (unless prohibited by the veterinary school you are attending).
Eligibility Requirements
Must be a current veterinary student at an AVMA‑accredited veterinary school.
Priority scheduling is given to students in their clinical years on official externship blocks for school credit.
Must provide proof of professional liability insurance. SAVMA members qualify for no‑cost insurance by applying at the following link: SAVMA Member Benefit and Resources – AVMA PLIT.
Hospital Information HousePaws Mobile Veterinary Services is a fusion of high‑quality mobile veterinary care with access to traditional clinical care in our hospital locations. We serve clients and patients in South New Jersey, North New Jersey and parts of the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area with three hospital locations in Mount Laurel and Atco, NJ, and Morrisville, PA. Our hospitals are state‑of‑the‑art outpatient care facilities where we perform surgery, dentistry, and a number of other procedures. Our vets are enthusiastic about bringing a compassionate, full‑service experience to their patients in the comforts of their own homes. HousePaws veterinarians are highly skilled and enjoy a high volume of diverse cases. Our caseload includes individualized preventative health care, sick and emergency care, as well as surgical and dental care for veterinarians with interest and skills in‑hospital procedures. Working with our mobile practice is unlike the traditional hospital‑based job. No day is the same as the day before and each day will have challenges and surprises that will keep you on your toes. You’ll also find that the rewards of mobile practice are numerous. You’ll develop a familiarity and relationship with clients, who will often become repeat clients, and soon feel like family.

What to Expect from Your Externship We want to hear from you about your professional goals for your externship experience! Please indicate your top priorities in your application so we can tailor the experience to meet your needs. During your externship, you can expect to actively participate in cases and further your development toward becoming a veterinarian. Throughout your time with us, you will always be supervised by an experienced veterinarian and skilled support staff. This team will serve as your mentors for your externship experience. Expect to be included in surgical cases, dental procedures, emergencies, sick patient workups, and routine medical appointments. If there are certain technical skills you are looking to improve, let us know so we can place emphasis on these areas! We encourage active participation from externs, introduce them to our clients, and truly make them part of our team. Listening to the patient history, conducting a preliminary exam, and formulating a plan for diagnostics and treatment are a great way to put your education to the test and help prepare you for the real‑world of veterinary medicine. You will discuss these cases with your supervising veterinarian and have them confirm your exam findings to verify whether you are on the right track with your plans before moving forward with the case as a team. This dynamic creates the ideal environment for you to grow in your confidence and skill with managing both routine and complex cases. We encourage externs to select one case per week to further research and engage the veterinarians in further case discussion with this additional information. These case discussions help our teams learn and grow together; further emphasizing that mentorship is a two‑way street.
We truly enjoy hosting externs and having new graduates join our teams, and with new team members always comes new shared knowledge.
