The externship is a 3 week hands-on opportunity for 3rd and 4th year veterinary students to work with Dr. Charlotte Lacroix on issues affecting veterinary medicine, including analysis of emerging business and legal issues, employer/employee contract negotiations, the buying and selling of veterinary practices, and the relationship between practice owners. Whether you are considering attending law or business school in the future, hope to learn more about running a successful practice or simply want to learn more about the challenges confronting the veterinary profession, your externship will broaden your view of veterinary medicine, the business, commercial, legal and ethical concerns it must address, and teach you about the practical “business” of being a veterinarian.

We are located about 2 hours east of Columbus just off I-70. New Horizon is a multi-doctor small animal hospital staffed 24 hours. We do a lot of emergencies, critical care/ ICU, soft tissue and orthopedic surgeries (bone plating but no TPLOs or THRs), chemotherapy (excluding radiation), dental surgery, preventive medicine, spays/ neuters. We work closely with several rescue organizations and animal shelters. We have always had a good relationship with Ohio State as our primary refer center and for consultations (ask Steph or Dr. Dyce if they think time at New Horizon with Dr. Puskarich or Dr. Jim Moore would be well spent). I think any student here will get practical, real world experience and enjoy the atmosphere.
