Veterinary Emergency Group has one mission: to help people and their pets when they need it most. VEG is a fast-growing group of hospitals that has completely overhauled pet emergency and urgent care with a progressive and client-centered approach, rapid response times, and a highly-focused emergency-only team.
Our Externship Program gives students intensive hands-on emergency medicine experience and the chance to work alongside skilled emergency doctors. Students will focus on learning how to communicate effectively with our clients, diagnose a variety of emergency conditions, develop emergency treatment plans, and collaborate with support staff in a fast-paced environment.
Externs will shadow and observe our ER doctors, help out doctors & staff, scrub into surgery, assist with medical records, and communicate with clients.
Externs may see bite wounds, choking or respiratory distress, toxin ingestion, shock, DKA, heat stroke, reproductive emergencies, seizures, pancreatitis, and hemoabdomen.
