Extern Program

The Externship

Our interest and support of education and training extends to the veterinary field. Our Clinic offers an outstanding opportunity for third and fourth year veterinary students to explore hands-on practical experience in the world of veterinary medicine. The nature of our operation offers a unique experience of veterinary medicine not found in conventional practice. Students are encouraged to schedule a four or six week term during which they have the opportunity to gain surgical experience, complete "rounds" evaluating Shelter animals, and be a part of the daily operations of our clinic. Students are provided an apartment and small stipend and are exposed to a wide variety of educational experiences.
