What are the responsibilities and job description for the Veterinary Extern - Equine position at NVA Equine?
Goals of Externship: The goal of our externship is to expose to students to our varied caseload with both an in-hospital, boarded specialist component as well as an ambulatory medicine component. We also have a busy, after-hours emergency caseload that allows for more participation of the extern, especially as we develop more comfort with their knowledge base and skill set.
Externship Responsibilities: Assist with treatments, participate in rounds and journal clubs, assist with daily tasks and accompany/observe veterinarians on calls.
Other Information: We recommend at least a two-week block, but most students benefit from a three to four-week block if possible. For students interested in application for the internship program, a two-week visit is highly recommended. This allows for a working interview, for both the extern and the doctors.
Prerequisites: Must be a veterinary student. Highest priority will be given to third- and fourth-year veterinary students with an interest in pursuing an equine internship.
Living Quarters: an extern room on-site with full bathroom is available to visiting externs. Residence at the clinic during the externship is strongly encouraged to take advantage of after-hours experiences.
Estimated Workload: Externs will be expected to assist with treatments as deemed appropriate on hospitalized patients. The majority of the time will be assisting during daytime appointments either in-hospital or on an ambulatory basis.
