Externs at McAbee Veterinary Hospital will be given the opportunity to experience the day-to-day life of a busy, multi-doctor AAHA-accredited small animal general practice. McAbee Veterinary Hospital has been located in beautiful Winter Park, FL for over 60 years, and it was one of the first AAHA-accredited hospitals in the greater Orlando area. The clinic is a full-service general practice, and the extern will see a mix of wellness visits, sick appointments, ER/Urgent Care appointments, surgeries, and dental procedures. As a multi-doctor practice, students would be able to learn from multiple small animal practitioners with varying levels of experience and interests.
McAbee Veterinary Hospital is a 7 doctor general practice with a collaborative culture. The hospital has digital radiology, Idexx in-house lab equipment, dental radiology, abdominal ultrasound, endoscopy, and surgical laser.
Our schedule is 7-7 Monday-Friday, and 8-4 on Saturdays. The student schedule can be flexible based on their availability and any outside obligations during the course of the externship. Each day, the student will be placed with a DVM and work with that DVM for the duration of their shift. The student will start by shadowing the DVM through exam rooms and procedures, assisting when possible. Based on the student's skillset and comfort level, they may be able to take the lead on some exams and procedures under the DVMs guidance. Externs will primarily work with the medical director, but they will also spend some days with other DVMs to experience different styles and approaches to veterinary medicine.
