What are the responsibilities and job description for the Veterinary Extern - General Practice position at Pet Medical Center of Katy?
An externship experience at an NVA hospital will give students the unique opportunity to understand the day-to-day operations of the practice, and to gain valuable hands-on clinical experience.
