DESCRIPTION
Animal Emergency Hospital, a thriving emergency veterinary practice on the East Coast in Bel Air, Maryland, is excited to announce openings for first- through fourth-year veterinary student externships. Our full-service emergency facility offers mentorship in outpatient, ICU, and surgical care in a caring, compassionate environment where you will learn and grow in your career.
Program Overview:
Our externship program is loosely structured to accommodate each student’s needs, and you can rotate in two- to eight-week blocks, according to your school requirements and schedule. During your three 12-hour weekly shifts, you will shadow your assigned mentor, assist with patient triage, attend ICU rounds, contribute to patient care decisions, and scrub into procedures and surgeries. Shifts will focus on inpatient ICU care or outpatient triage and surgery.
