Community Medicine externs will gain first-hand experience in providing affordable and accessible veterinary care in communities that experience persistent poverty or have demonstrated other barriers to accessing care. Externs will help provide basic medical care for common illnesses such as eye or ear infections, obtain medical histories, draw and administer vaccinations, and other non-invasive diagnostics. Externs will also have the ability to shadow our HQHVSN (high-quality, high-volume spay/neuter) programs and spend a day working alongside our Community Engagement (CE) team.
Increase Access to Vet Care - Gain hands-on experience providing veterinary care in underserved communities.
Mentorship Experience - Learn from expert mentors who will provide a safe and supportive environment during the program and beyond.
Mobile Clinic Experience - During your externship you will also be able to obtain medical experience in a dynamic mobile clinic setting.
We accommodate externs for 2 weeks.
