What are the responsibilities and job description for the Veterinary Extern - General Practice position at AmeriVet Veterinary Partners?
An externship experience at an NVA hospital will give students the unique opportunity to understand the day-to-day operations of the practice, and to gain valuable hands-on clinical experience. Although every NVA hospital is unique, we all have some things in common: an environment that is supportive, committed to excellent medicine, and provides exceptional service to animals and the people who love them.
We are a team who shares values of high-quality medicine, education, camaraderie, compassion, and growth. We are currently a five-doctor general practice with a phenomenal support staff, Idexx in-house labs, digital x-ray, ultrasound, laser surgery, and digital dental x-ray in-office. We also offer boarding and daycare to our loyal clients. We are a fast-paced hospital that sees a wide range of appointments and surgeries.
Students will work closely with the supervising DVMs to gain experience in gathering patient histories, performing physical exams, creation of treatment plans, diagnostics, dentistry services, observing/assisting or performing surgical procedures, and medical management of patients. In addition to practicing their clinical skills, student externs will have the opportunity to practice their communication skills with the medical team, support staff, and clients.
Most externship experiences at [1] TLC Animal Hospital range from two to eight weeks depending on student and hospital schedules. All DVM students (regardless of class year) are encouraged to participate in NVA externships.
DVM students who are in the clinical portion of their education are eligible for a travel/living expense stipend. Click [2] HERE to view list of stipend amounts and [3] HERE for details on the stipend program.
