An externship at VCA is an opportunity to practice and gain constructive feedback working along with our medical teams in case management and procedural skills. Students will be expected to conduct themselves in a professional manner. The externship includes but is not limited to the immersion in daily operational tasks such as medical rounds, client communications, diagnostics, and patient planning. They can discuss situations and collectively put together treatment plans. Students will have the opportunity to practice various forms of imagining including ultrasound and radio graphic interpretation. Exposure to surgeries including dentistry are also offered. Externship length is typically 2-4 weeks based upon school programs but can be flexible.
