What are the responsibilities and job description for the Veterinary student externship position at American Veterinary Group?
Description
The primary purpose of our Veterinary Student Externship is to provide a hands-on learning experience for 3rd and 4th year students who are enrolled in a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine program.
The program is typically scheduled for 2-week blocks at our hospital. We feel that the students who possess an open mind and a willingness to learn will benefit the most from our externship.
Key Responsibilities
The Veterinary Student Extern is responsible for performing inpatient and outpatient medical care under the direct supervision of our veterinary staff.
They will be expected to perform in-house diagnostic tests (hematology, chemistry, and radiology) with competence, perform routine client education, and to assist in surgical procedures.
Skills, Knowledge, and Expertise
Participants in the Veterinary Extern Program must currently be enrolled in an AVMA-accredited Doctor of Veterinary Medicine Program.
We continue to grow and leverage our infrastructure to empower veterinary practices and professionals by providing exceptional support for hospital operations, medical expertise, recruiting, training, marketing, finance, and human resource functions.
In short, we serve to support our family of hospitals and we got here by caring, listening, and fostering genuine partnerships with each of our veterinary hospitals to empower their strength, expertise, and medical autonomy at the local level.
Today, we get to call the 1,600 hospital employees, including over 200 veterinarians and 90 home office support staff, our colleagues, mentors, and cheerleaders.
Tomorrow will bring us even more growth in talent and expertise. And the best part? There’s room for you at the table to also grow and be supported if you join our team!
