Veterinary Extern - General Practice
Bracebridge Animal Hospital
Job Description
LEARN, Work & Play in Bracebridge, located in beautiful Muskoka. Our 2-Veterinarian clinic provides compassionate and exceptional care to dogs, cats and exotics! Our team of Veterinarians take pleasure in supporting through mentorship opportunities. Our support teams are welcoming, proficient & encouraging. Students joining Bracebridge Animal Hospital will experience hands-on mentoring support while working with an awesome team.
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.
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.
At NVA Canada diversity and inclusion are an important part of our everyday reality.
We are committed to fostering an open and inclusive environment where everyone belongs, our people feel comfortable and confident to be themselves and reach their full potential regardless of age, race, national or ethnic origin, gender identity or expression, marital and family status, religion or other belief, culture, sexual orientation, or disability.
