Description & Requirements
Located in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley, Winchester is one of the fastest-growing cities in the US. At Winchester Animal Hospital, we are keeping up with the growing pet population in this area by staffing highly trained employees who enjoy coming to work each day.
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. All veterinary students (regardless of class year) are encouraged to participate in NVA externships.
