Internship Overview 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. Although every NVA hospital is unique, we all have some things in common: a supportive environment that is committed to excellent medicine, and provides exceptional service to animals and the people who love them.
Location and Facilities LeGallais Veterinary Hospital has been an active member of the Aurora community for over 20 years, with a loyal client following. Our focus is to provide our clients with exceptional service and top‑notch veterinary care, while maintaining our warm and friendly atmosphere. The hospital features four fully stocked exam rooms with a fifth used as a Comfort Care Room. In our extensive treatment area, we have access to a dedicated surgical suite, a dental procedure area, complete with dental x‑ray, a separate x‑ray room, ultrasound and an oxygen cage for our more critical patients.
Responsibilities Students will work closely with the supervising veterinarian 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 their clinical skills, students will have the chance to practice their communication skills with the medical team, support staff, and clients.
Schedule Most externship experiences range from two to eight weeks depending on student and hospital schedules. All veterinary students (regardless of class year) are encouraged to participate in NVA externships.
Stipend Veterinary students who are in the clinical portion of their education are eligible for a travel/living expense stipend. View list of stipend amounts and stipend program for details.
Diversity & Inclusion At NVA Canada diversity and inclusion are an important part of our everyday reality. We are committed to fostering an open and inclusive environment where everyone belongs, our people feel comfortable and confident to be themselves and reach their full potential regardless of age, race, national or ethnic origin, gender identity or expression, marital and family status, religion or other belief, culture, sexual orientation, or disability.
