Red Bank Veterinary Hospital is a well-established veterinary practice located on the beautiful Jersey shore in Monmouth County, minutes from the beach and an hour from New York City and Philadelphia. With robust internship and residency programs, we are proud of the fact that education is a core part of our hospital culture.

We offer an externship program for successful 3rd and 4th year clinical veterinary students of AVMA Accredited schools to further their training. Participating students observe cases from diagnosis through treatment, in one of the largest specialty hospitals in the United States. Ask questions, participate in grand rounds and department rounds, and attend in-house continuing education lectures during your stay. Eligible students may apply for an externship from one to four weeks, with no more than two weeks spent on a single service.

Red Bank Veterinary Hospital has free housing available for student externs located on a beautiful horse farm just 4 miles from the hospital.  This is a dormitory-style living arrangement and you may be asked to share your room with another extern.  Please note that with limited space housing will be booked on a first come, first serve basis.

While participation in cases and interaction with staff is strongly encouraged, we limit clinical involvement to participation within Red Bank Veterinary Hospital-approved guidelines. We appreciate your cooperation and anticipate that you will find your time at our hospital to be a rewarding learning experience.

A separate extern/preceptor program is available for students attending Western University School of Veterinary Medicine. This preceptor program fulfills specific requirements set forth for the Western University Fourth Year veterinary curriculum.
