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. 

An externship experience at NVA Kodiak Veterinary Clinic, will give you real-life clinical experience, emergency medicine and the opportunity to apply your knowledge and skills while working alongside experienced clinicians. You 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 your clinical skills, student externs will have the opportunity to practice their communication skills with the medical team, support staff, and clients.

On top of learning valuable skills for your future career, you will have plenty of time to explore and learn about the wonderful island of Kodiak, Alaska! Why not take this wonderful opportunity to advance your professional and personal life at the same time.
