Through direct interactions between the student and the veterinarians, the student will be given the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge, technical and interpersonal skills and will be provided with verbal and written feedback designed to help them improve their skills.
Program Outline
- Students are assigned to a supervising veterinarian who will oversee their externship experience and provide the student and the school with feedback as appropriate.
- Students should spend a minimum of 40-50 scheduled hours per week for at least a two week period in the practice but are welcome to spend more time if they wish.

The schedule is designed to provide the student with a comprehensive overview of all services within the first week. The second week’s schedule is designed to provide the student with more time in services of their choice while still remaining comprehensive. Mid-way through the externship experience, the student will meet with their supervisor for initial feedback from the first week’s experience and ensure that expectations of both the student and the practice are being met to ensure the best possible experience.
