During the externship, the student will have the opportunity to work alongside
Midwest Animal Hospital professionals and actively participate in every
aspect of patient care. We are not just looking for talent; we like to get to
know our externs and help them maximize their potential. Every student
learns at their own pace, but we want to make sure we are giving them the
best tools. We are open 7 days a week and accept walk-ins and
appointments, so they can expect to see a high volume of patients and
clients. This will give the student the opportunity to learn at a fast pace. Like our
employees, we expect externs to work hard interacting with our clients and
getting hands-on experience. 

 
Some of the primary tasks they will be expected to perform include:
Gather patients' medical histories
Perform nose-to-tail physical exams
Formulate and implement diagnostic and therapeutic care plans
Use cutting-edge tools and technology
Scrub in and assist in surgery
