The VEG Externship Program provides students with an exciting, well-rounded emergency medicine experience. Students in the program work alongside our skilled emergency doctors and support staff, and may even have hands-on learning opportunities. Emergency medicine is unpredictable in nature, it keeps you on your paws! Students will focus on learning how to communicate effectively with our clients, diagnose a variety of emergency conditions, develop emergency treatment plans, and collaborate with support staff in a fast-paced environment- all the while being fully immersed in the VEG culture.
a role as an extern includes:
Staffing: 11 emergency veterinarians, 20 licensed vet techs, 15 veterinary assistants, and 5 receptionists; one internal medicine specialist who comes in for ultrasound + consults
Equipment: ligasure, cautery, ultrasound, digital radiography, transfusion equipment, incubator, snyder o2 cage, and more!
We tailor the schedule to the student and provide a mix of day, swing, night emergency experience. We are flexible with schedule and aim for 36-40 hours based on shift types (our doctors typically work 10-12 hour shifts). This tends to mean 3 shifts/week. A student extern is always paired to an emergency veterinarian, and it is a 1 on 1 experience.
