Central West Virginia Animal Hospital is a progressive, single doctor practice in rural West Virginia. Externs will work closely with the doctor throughout the day. We hope to give the extern as many opportunities to gain hands-on practice with clinical skills and surgery depending on their understanding and comfort-level with such tasks. As the only veterinary clinic in the area, we see a wide range of both small and large animal cases.

Our regular business hours are typically Monday through Friday. We do not see after hours or weekend emergencies. Students would be expected to work through some cases on their own and present their findings and plans to the doctor. We hope to make this experience as close to real life practice as possible in that we encourage the extern to use resources and their own knowledge to make clinical decisions.
