The primary purpose of our Veterinary Student Externship is to provide a hands-on learning experience for 3rd and 4th year students who are enrolled in Doctor of Veterinary Medicine program. The program is flexible and can be scheduled in 1- to 4-week blocks, depending on the extern’s availability. We feel that the students who possess an open mind and a willingness to learn will benefit the most from our externship.
Magnolia Animal Hospital is located in Ocala, Florida just south of Gainesville (the home of the University of Florida). We are a 3-doctor, high-quality, high-volume, fast-paced small animal practice. Our practice boasts an experienced technical staff, digital x-ray, therapy laser, and paper-lite system using the Cornerstone platform.
The Veterinary Student Extern has the opportunity to assist in performing inpatient and outpatient medical care under the direct supervision of our veterinary staff. They will be expected to perform in-house diagnostic tests (hematology, chemistry, and radiology) with competence, perform routine client education, and assist in surgical procedures.
