Oakville, Canada Oakpark Pet Hospital Full time

An externship experience at an NVA hospital will give students the unique opportunity to understand the day-to-day operations of the practice, and to gain valuable hands-on clinical experience. Although every NVA hospital is unique, we all have some things in common: an environment that is supportive, committed to excellent medicine, and provides exceptional service to animals and the people who love them.
[1] Oakpark Pet Hospital in Oakville, Ontario, offers a fantastic opportunity for veterinary students looking to gain hands-on experience through an externship. Since 2001, the hospital has been dedicated to providing comprehensive veterinary care, including services such as laparoscopic spay, neuter, dentistry, CT imaging, orthopedic surgery, and wellness care. The experienced and friendly team is committed to compassionate care, ensuring the well-being of companion animals. As an extern, you'll have the chance to work with a variety of cases and utilize advanced diagnostic tools, making it an ideal place to enhance your skills and knowledge in a supportive environment.
Students will work closely with the supervising veterinarian to gain experience in gathering patient histories, performing physical exams, creation of treatment plans, diagnostics, dentistry services, observing/assisting or performing surgical procedures, and medical management of patients. In addition to practicing their clinical skills, student externs will have the opportunity to practice their communication skills with the medical team, support staff, and clients.
Most externship experiences range from two to eight weeks depending on student and hospital schedules. Veterinary students in 4th year are encouraged to apply.
Veterinary students who are in the clinical portion of their education are eligible for a travel/living expense stipend. Click [2] HERE to view list of stipend amounts and [3] HERE for details on the stipend program.
