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.
Atlas Pet Clinic is located in the quaint Orlando suburb of Clermont, FL. We are a high-quality, high-volume, fast-paced small animal practice. Our 3-doctor team prides themselves on the ability to manage multiple cases/rooms, while providing quality care and excellent customer service to our clients. We recently underwent a complete renovation and moved to a brand new, 5,000 sq. ft. facility just a mile down the road from our former practice. Our new location will allow us to expand our team and continue to provide excellent care to our current clients, while also growing our following of loyal clientele!
The Veterinary Student Extern is responsible for 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 to assist in surgical procedures.
