Fourth year large animal and County Fair Veterinary experience. Spend 1.5 weeks going on farm calls for primarily dairy, pleasure horse, beef and other(small ruminant, pigs and camelid) then 6 days assisting at the very large Canfield Fair (www.canfieldfair.com).
This elective experience has to be the two weeks preceding Labor Day each year. It could end early afternoon on Labor Day to allow travel back to Columbus. We are offering a $200 stipend (plus free Lemon Shake-Ups).
A full service referral hospital conveniently located on the coast of central California, between Monterey and Salinas (now expanded to a Bay Area ambulatory branch), where people still care about the rare qualities of commitment, excellence and integrity. A place where horses' care is not limited to an eight hour clock... where experience, education and technology come together, and attention to detail can be expected.
Steinbeck Country Equine Clinic offers an externship program to equine-focused veterinary students in their third and fourth year of veterinary school. The externship program gives students exposure to a balance of medical, surgical and ambulatory practice. In addition to participation during our regular clinic hours Monday-Friday, externs are asked to participate in daily and evening treatments and emergency duties (including weekends) during their stay.
We have fourteen to fifteen doctors at our clinic. Students can get a chance to work with our seven board certified veterinarians: (Surgery) Dr. Tim Eastman, Dr. Stephanie Hibbits, and Dr. Nick Carlson; (Internal Medicine) Dr. Laramie Winfield, and Dr. Nora Grenager; (ABVP) Dr. Sarah James; and (Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation) Dr. Matthew Durham. Our practice is equine with a 50/50 division between in house and ambulatory. We have a state of the art surgical facility and intensive care unit, advanced diagnostic imaging including video endoscopy/gastroscopy, digital radiography, laparoscopy, and advanced ultrasound. We offer Shockwave, Stem Cell, IRAP, Laser, Acupuncture, PRP and Tildren therapies. We also have a breeding program.
- The extern will be shadowing a primary clinician in order to observe cases, evaluations and treatment. Participation will also take place in rounds and diagnostic procedures.
- Veterinary Emergency & Critical Care.
- Veterinary Emergency Diagnostics & Treatment.
The goal of the externship is to provide veterinary students with aspirations for a career in equine medicine and surgery an opportunity for an in-depth clinical experience in a private referral hospital. The practice is committed to providing the extern with a rewarding clinical educational experience. The scope and depth of any hands-on experience will vary with the maturity, aptitude, clinical skills, and “common sense” of each extern. The extern’s primary responsibilities will involve assisting the interns, specialists, and technicians with the evaluation, management, and care of hospital patients, as well as participating in surgery and anesthesia for cases that require it. Externs may have the opportunity to assist with surgical procedures and anesthesia. The externs are also responsible for assisting with the administration of treatments, application of bandages, and performing other tasks in the hospital. While accompanying ambulatory clinicians, the externs will become familiar with ambulatory emergencies, routine health care, theriogenology, and lameness evaluations. The externship also provides an excellent opportunity for a mutual assessment of good fit for an internship.

We are a privately owned, small animal general practice in Cincinnati, OH. Our group consists of three hospitals focused on high quality medicine, compassionate care, and excellent client service. We are a high volume general practice performing 10-12 surgeries and 45-60 outpatient appointments per day, per location. Our group currently has 16 veterinarians on staff with 4 practicing at this location, which will give you mentorship from a wide range of perspectives.
Students participate in outdoor rounds (health surveillance of large nonhuman primate colonies), which include physical exmas, diagnostic procedures, TB testing, abdominal ultrasounds, administration of medications, etc.
Students participate in hospital triage, working with veterinarians and veterinary techicians clinical/surgical cases arriving to hospital buildings.
Students participate in necropsy and laboratory procedures (fecal examinations/identification of common parasites, blood work evaluations, etc).
Students are also expected to learn about some procedures associated with research (i.e. bone marrow aspirates, CSF taps, samples collections, etc).
Participate in a busy, 4 doctor small animal practice that also sees exotics. Client communication and education is as important to us as our medical services. The student will take part in our appointments with our clients/patients, evaluate and work up cases, formulate treatment plans, monitor hospitalized patients, participate in surgeries and dental procedures, and also learn about the practice management aspect of being a hospital owner.
Students will gain clinical experience with veterinary aspects of maintaining captive and free-ranging wildlife in a zoological setting. Emphasis will be placed on preventative health programs, quarantine, clinical pathology, pathology, nutrition, behavioral enrichment, husbandry, and management of a variety of species, including mega-vertebrates, hoofstock, large carnivores, non-human primates, small mammals, birds, amphibians and reptiles. All students must complete a project during their externship. Projects may be related to ongoing clinical research or a clinical topic, based on current cases and needs. Rotations of 6-8 weeks are preferred; exceptions will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
The goal of the externship is to provide students with a full understanding of the internship offered and to further explore a career in performance horse medicine and general practice.
We expect students to take part in all aspects of a busy small animal practice. This would involve assisting doctors in the exam rooms, subsequent case workup, active discussion and input on differential diagnoses. The students are also expected to help the technicians as needed in order to solidify their technical skills that will be required in practice. Externs will also scrub in and assist in surgeries.
