Description & Requirements
Countryside Animal Hospital of Tempe is an AAHA hospital that believes in practicing a high standard of care and exceptional service. We are a busy, efficient practice with a “come in now” culture and strongly believe in the importance of educating our clients. We are proud and lucky to have a team that has been with us for a long time. This builds trust and loyalty with staff and with our clients and patients.
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 range from two to eight weeks depending on student and hospital schedules. We offer externships to 4th year veterinary students.
