We offer LA, SA, and Mixed animal externships. This is a LA externship. Student will be working with doctors with cattle (dairy & beef), horses, small ruminants, some camelids. Student will be assisting the veterinarian and/ or technician with medical and surgical appointmemnts with these species. We ask all students to work with all the LA species. We will allow some focus if a specific area is the goal of the externship. We allow students to plan a project while on the externship. Projects must be approved before the externship is begun by KVH.

We have multiple portable ultrasound units, corded ultrasound higher power units, portable digital radiography, video endoscopy unit, vet box equipped mobile units, in hospital areas for treatment and surgery.
Veterinary students are expected to be available feve days per week. Office hours are from 7:30 am to 6 pm. We also provide after hours emergency services.
