Busy 4 DVM practice interacting with clients, surgery, preventative, diagnostics, internal medicine cases, emergency cases & dentistry.
Our organization focuses to achieve excellence in veterinary medicine through compassionate one-on-one peer mentoring and care. We hold ourselves to the highest of medical standards and are accountable for ensuring clients and their pets receive optimal care.
Our diverse group respects each other’s needs and educational outlook. We are an evolving organization providing externs an opportunity to work with multiple practices, thus allowing them different viewpoints. Not only are we creating a foundation for future veterinarians, but we are developing future entrepreneurs.
As an extern, we will provide you with housing, a weekly stipend, transportation to our Hospitals, but most importantly, a mentorship from one of our reputable Doctors during all assessments and medical procedures. The Nave Veterinary Group welcomes anyone who is committed to practicing the best that veterinary medicine has to offer.

Assessments
The student will be assessed subjectively throughout the rotation and briefed about their performance by the preceptor with weekly “check-in” meetings. At these meetings, the work completed by the student will be checked for ongoing progress and discussed. Additional assessments that will be evaluated at these weekly meetings are to include: base knowledge of subject matter, development of subject matter expertise, work efficiency, effective communication, and professional conduct.
Daily Schedule
The student will participate in weekly, or bi-weekly, calls or online video meetings with the project team to discuss daily and weekly objectives, with additional calls as needed. The timing of these meetings may vary according to the schedule of staff members. Objectives may include tasks dealing directly with team members' needs, or they may include tasks specific to the student's responsibilities within the project, such as data management and analysis. As the entire CEAH staff is working primarily remotely, student learning and engagement will be self-driven, but the collaborative and communicative culture of CEAH should be appreciated, with the student striving to contribute to a productive work environment. Email and messaging app (Microsoft Teams) updates to the project supervisor at regular and short intervals are encouraged early in the internship while workflow is established.
