Veterinary Extern – General Practice

Job Description

Job Description

*We are excited to host externs at our hospital, but the safety of our staff and clients remains our top priority. Due to COVID-19 we are currently accepting externhsip applications, but are will not be scheduling externships prior to June 1, 2020. This may be subject to change due to the virus and externship start-date has the possibility of being pushed back further.

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 environment that is supportive, committed to excellent medicine, and provides exceptional service to animals and the people who love them.

An externship with Kokomo Animal Hospital will be busy and fast paced. As a walk-in clinic, you will see a broad mix of cases that will include, but is not limited to, surgeries, dentals, urgent/emergent cases, wellness exams, and exotics.

Students will work closely with the supervising DVMs 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 range from two to eight weeks depending on student and hospital schedules. All DVM students (regardless of class year) are encouraged to participate in NVA externships.
