Externship Description & Requirements

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: an workplace that is supportive, committed to excellent medicine, and provides exceptional service to animals and the people who love them. Our clinic has a great team culture and community outreach is very important to us. You will have ample opportunity to learn as you work alongside seasoned veterinarians. 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, student externs will have the opportunity to practice their communication skills with the medical team, support staff, and clients. Most externship experiences at Grand River Veterinary Hospital

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. Veterinary students who are in the

clinical portion

of their education are eligible for a travel/living expense stipend.
