What are the responsibilities and job description for the Veterinary Extern - General Practice position at NVA General Practice?
At Animal Hospital of Waynesville, we love teaching! We are a clinic that is close-knit and loves to have fun. We're all passionate about high-quality patient care and customer service and developing individualized preventative care plans for all patients! We're Fear Free certified, AAHA accredited, and Feline Friendly, as well, so we hold ourselves to the highest standards while also being able to compromise and consider the client's financial capabilities.
We have a shift every day that primarily sees same-day, sick appointments so there is a great opportunity to see emergencies! One of our DVMs is also the local shelter's veterinarian, so there is also an opportunity to do some surgeries and see behind the scenes of a shelter vet! Our equipment includes digital dental radiography, digital radiography, ultrasound, in-house CBC/Chemistry/urine analyzer, and multiple SNAP tests.
We're nestled in the middle of the Blue Ridge mountains just a half hour outside of Asheville. We have multiple local shops, coffee shops, restaurants, and breweries within walking distance of the hospital. There are opportunities to hike, bike, run, paddleboard, ski, camp, or just soak in the Blue Ridge magic, depending on the season. We would love for you to come extern with us!
Most externship experiences range from two to eight weeks depending on student and hospital schedules. Externships are designed for 3rd and 4th year students.
Veterinary students who are in the clinical portion of their education are eligible for a travel/living expense stipend. Click HERE to view list of stipend amounts and HERE for details on the stipend program.
