Offsite Electives

The Laboratory Animal Medicine externship provides clinical experience with a broad variety of species ranging from rodents to nonhuman primates.  LAM externs accompany program residents on their rounds, including at our macaque breeding colonies, and have the opportunity to do routine clinical procedures.  They assist in anesthesia and surgery; aid in the training of researchers and MDs using animal models and participate in ACLAM boards review activities.

The Anatomic Pathology externships allows for participation in necropsies of animals from our facilities, private veterinary practitioners, the Maryland Zoo and the National Aquarium.  Pathology externs will review slides with boarded pathologists and participate in gross and histopathology rounds.

Both externships provide extensive hands-on experience.

Veterinarian

A great opportunity is available at our veterinary practice, which is quickly growing into a successful and profitable clinic that would allow a future veterinarian to establish a solid foundation for a future with a high quality-of-life.

We are offering an externship/internship to allow a new veterinary graduate a wonderful opportunity to learn the daily medical, surgical and client relationships in a small animal practice.

It’s the opportunity of training to work as a small animal practitioner and the added benefit (if desired) to own the practice that will ensure a retirement nest egg for you and advance your career both professionally and financially.

We are currently a single doctor practice; hours are split between 2 part-time veterinarians. We have a friendly, caring and experienced staff providing great customer service to our clients. We are located in Arlington, Washington, 20 minutes north of Everett.

A full service referral hospital conveniently located on the coast of central California, between Monterey and Salinas (now expanded to a Bay Area ambulatory branch), where people still care about the rare qualities of commitment, excellence and integrity. A place where horses' care is not limited to an eight hour clock... where experience, education and technology come together, and attention to detail can be expected.

Steinbeck Country Equine Clinic offers an externship program to equine-focused veterinary students in their third and fourth year of veterinary school. The externship program gives students exposure to a balance of medical, surgical and ambulatory practice. In addition to participation during our regular clinic hours Monday-Friday, externs are asked to participate in daily and evening treatments and emergency duties (including weekends) during their stay.

We have fourteen to fifteen doctors at our clinic. Students can get a chance to work with our seven board certified veterinarians: (Surgery) Dr. Tim Eastman, Dr. Stephanie Hibbits, and Dr. Nick Carlson; (Internal Medicine) Dr. Laramie Winfield, and Dr. Nora Grenager; (ABVP) Dr. Sarah James; and (Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation) Dr. Matthew Durham. Our practice is equine with a 50/50 division between in house and ambulatory. We have a state of the art surgical facility and intensive care unit, advanced diagnostic imaging including video endoscopy/gastroscopy, digital radiography, laparoscopy, and advanced ultrasound. We offer Shockwave, Stem Cell, IRAP, Laser, Acupuncture, PRP and Tildren therapies. We also have a breeding program.

• The extern will be shadowing a primary clinician in order to observe cases, evaluations and treatment. Participation will also take place in rounds and diagnostic procedures.
• Veterinary Emergency & Critical Care.
• Veterinary Emergency Diagnostics & Treatment.

The goal of the externship is to provide veterinary students with aspirations for a career in equine medicine and surgery an opportunity for an in-depth clinical experience in a private referral hospital. The practice is committed to providing the extern with a rewarding clinical educational experience. The scope and depth of any hands-on experience will vary with the maturity, aptitude, clinical skills, and “common sense” of each extern. The extern’s primary responsibilities will involve assisting the interns, specialists, and technicians with the evaluation, management, and care of hospital patients, as well as participating in surgery and anesthesia for cases that require it. Externs may have the opportunity to assist with surgical procedures and anesthesia. The externs are also responsible for assisting with the administration of treatments, application of bandages, and performing other tasks in the hospital. While accompanying ambulatory clinicians, the externs will become familiar with ambulatory emergencies, routine health care, theriogenology, and lameness evaluations. The externship also provides an excellent opportunity for a mutual assessment of good fit for an internship.

We are a privately owned, small animal general practice in Cincinnati, OH.  Our group consists of three hospitals focused on high quality medicine, compassionate care, and excellent client service. We are a high volume general practice performing 10-12 surgeries and 45-60 outpatient appointments per day, per location.  Our group currently has 16 veterinarians on staff with 4 practicing at this location, which will give you mentorship from a wide range of perspectives. 

Students participate in outdoor rounds (health surveillance of large nonhuman primate colonies), which include physical exmas, diagnostic procedures, TB testing, abdominal ultrasounds, administration of medications, etc.

 Students participate in hospital triage, working with veterinarians and veterinary techicians clinical/surgical cases arriving to hospital buildings.

Students participate in necropsy and laboratory  procedures (fecal examinations/identification of common parasites, blood work evaluations, etc).

Students are also expected to learn about some procedures associated with research (i.e. bone marrow aspirates, CSF taps, samples collections, etc).

Participate in a busy, 4 doctor small animal practice that also sees exotics. Client communication and education is as important to us as our medical services. The student will take part in our appointments with our clients/patients, evaluate and work up cases, formulate treatment plans, monitor hospitalized patients, participate in surgeries and dental procedures, and also learn about the practice management aspect of being a hospital owner.
