At Pet Care Veterinary Hospital we are interested in hosting keen veterinary students.  We are a 7-doctor practice, which sees 85% small animal, 11% exotic, and 4% avian patients.  Dr. Fisher is a Dipl.ABVP and Dr. Phillips is a Dipl.ACZM, so we see a wide variety of patients.  The clinic offers a wide range of services, including orthopedics, dentistry, internal medicine, and behavioral counseling.  Students will be expected to work a minimum of 40 hours a week; we are open Monday through Saturday.  On Saturdays we host puppy parties for clients, and students may attend if they wish.  We have an in-hospital apartment, and can provide accommodation for students.  The maximum amount of time we can offer will depend on time of year and number of applicants (ie Christmas 2-4 weeks, summer may be longer).  More information can be found on our website, http://www.petcarevb.com/

 

Please contact the practice directly via petcare@petcarevb.com and title the email “Internship Inquiry: Re: Drs. Urban and Wallace”.  You should receive an email with attached questionnaire in response.  We will try to answer within one week of receiving your inquiry.
