Description & Requirements
East End Veterinary Medical Centre is a growing multi-doctor, small animal practice located in the Shadyside neighborhood of Pittsburgh. We have a veterinary acupuncturist who works out of our clinic once a week. We do a large number of dental procedures. We perform surgeries 5 days a week and offer same-day urgent care appointments.
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. Externships at East End Veterinary Medical Centre are offered to 4th year veterinary students only.
