Our hospitals offer 24/7 inpatient and outpatient emergency care and are actively recruiting to soon add specialty services. We are excited to offer third- and fourth-year veterinary students a highly immersive emergency externship experience in our established, rapidly growing hospital.
Program Overview:
Our veterinary student externship is open to third- and fourth-year students ready to jump into a two- to four-week emergency practice program. You will be paired with a supervising veterinarian and will work four to five 10-hour day or swing shifts. Your experience will be extremely hands-on, and you will be in charge of your own cases, including client communication, patient diagnostics, treatment plans, and surgery, with our team’s appropriate guidance and competence assessment.
Why choose our hospitals?
Our hospitals employ 24 veterinarians and more than 100 support staff who work as a team and treat each other with kindness and respect. We work hard to create a supportive and welcoming environment, and our veterinarians are eager to teach and mentor student externs. Our facilities are fast-paced, and we will allow you to take full ownership of interesting and unusual cases with experienced clinicians by your side. Our Grand Rapids location is well-established, while our Byron Center location is a brand-new, 10,000-square-foot facility with 10 exam rooms, dedicated separate isolation spaces, CT, ultrasound, and more. As a bonus, our Byron Center location sees exotic patients one day per week.
Grand Rapids, nick-named “Beer City,” is a booming city and cultural hub in western Michigan that hosts many breweries and the famed beer trolley tour. We are about an hour’s drive to Lake Michigan’s quaint beach towns and outdoor enthusiasts have easy access to parks and natural areas.
