Veterinary Extern - General Practice

Clarke Animal Hospital

Clarke Animal Hospital is a busy 4 DVM practice that keeps things interesting each day. We perform surgery four days a week and our DVMs love to use diagnostics and dig into our sick patient visits. Our location makes us extra special for activities outside of work; we are just minutes away from the shore of Lake Michigan and all of the outdoor activities that people love to enjoy!

Students will work closely with the supervising veterinarian to gain experience in gathering patient histories, performing physical exams, creating 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...
