We pride ourselves on providing the most in-depth and effective clinical rotations possible. Guided by an experienced mentor, we will provide you an in-depth experience specifically catered to the requirements provided by your educational institution.
Mentorship is the only way that our industry will thrive, and young veterinary professionals are craving it now more than ever. With that, PAW Health Network is happy to offer student externships and clinical rotation opportunities. In coordination with your education plan and curriculum, we are able to craft an experience that is right for you to push towards a successful start to your career.
Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) & Certified Veterinary Technician (CVT) programs have a variety of different requirements per program. With that, our focused mentorship program offers the experience where you are specifically externing with one of our experienced staff serving as your mentor during that time. After application, you will work with our Lead Educator and Human Resources to ensure that your experience aligns with where you are in your education path and the requirements of the clinical rotation you are seeking to fulfill.
Students will be involved in all aspects of case management including but not limited to physical exam, rule out list, medical record keeping, caregiver communications, diagnostic test result interpretation, anesthesia, surgery (routine and emergency procedures) and hospitalized patient care.
