Job Description
Applicants must be fourth-year students of accredited domestic or international veterinary schools, pursuing a DVM, VMD or foreign equivalent.
Our Dallas Veterinary Surgical Center’s Dallas-Fort Worth locations in Grapevine and North Dallas welcome fourth-year veterinary students to join us for a one-of-a-kind educational experience. Our student externs scrub in alongside board-certified surgeons for hands-on learning in a state-of-the-art facility that offers clients the most advanced surgical techniques available.
Program Overview:
The DVSC surgical externship program is open to fourth-year clinical students and available in flexible blocks based on your educational institution’s requirements. You’ll work closely with veterinary interns and associates on cases from intake to discharge, participate in rounds, and scrub in to assist our board-certified surgeons with neurologic, soft tissue, and orthopedic surgeries. The typical student schedule is Monday through Friday, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. You can also choose to participate in emergency on-call cases.
Why choose DVSC?
DVSC has four locations, 11 surgeons, and more than 150 support staff. Our bustling schedule provides externs with ample learning opportunities from a front-row seat, helping you refine your surgical skills and knowledge for basic and advanced surgeries. We frequently use CT scans and fluoroscopy for surgical planning and intra-operative guidance, and our hospitals have arthroscopic, laparoscopic, and complex fracture repair equipment. Our surgeons also offer percutaneous laser disc ablation procedures and Kyon total hip replacement surgery.
Dallas-Fort Worth is a large metropolitan area with all the associated creature comforts, which include easy airport access, abundant housing, and cultural attractions, such as museums, zoos, restaurants, and parks. For unique experiences, check out the Stockyards to watch a cattle drive or visit Reunion Tower for stunning panoramic views.
