We offer a fully immersive experience into a general practice hospital. Milford Animal Hospital is a full-service hospital that offers high-quality medicine and surgery. Students will take the lead on all preventative and medical cases. They will do exams, recommend and interpret diagnostics, and lead client communication. Students will be scrubbed in on all surgical procedures under the doctor assigned to them that day. This externship will be focused more on building critical-thinking skills and communication skills. Students will not be used as technicians for technical skills.
