Description of Elective Experience

During an externship, a veterinary student can expect to experience all aspects of working in a non-profit Community Medicine environment.  Stand for Animals serves the Greater Charlotte area with three locations that offer HQHV spay/neuter, dentistry, general practice, wellness services and soft-tissue elective surgical procedures.  Externs will work with staff doctors to perform physical exams, scale and extract teeth, administer and monitor anesthesia, observe soft tissue surgical procedures, observe and/or assist in spay/neuter procedures. 

Student Responsibilities - what is expected of students in terms of hours, days of the week, shadowing or actual support?
