Veterinary Extern - General Practice

An externship experience at an NVA hospital will give students the unique opportunity to understand the day-to-day operations of the practice, and to gain valuable hands-on clinical experience. Although every NVA hospital is unique, we all have some things in common: an environment that is supportive, committed to excellent medicine, and provides exceptional service to animals and the people who love them.

At NVA Canada Bay Roberts, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, externs work closely with supervising Associate Veterinarians to gain experience in gathering patient histories, performing physical exams, creating treatment plans, diagnostics, dentistry services, observing or performing surgical procedures, and medical management of patients. In addition to practicing clinical skills, externs will have opportunities to practice communication with the medical team, support staff, and clients.

Most externship experiences at Baccalieu Trail Animal Hospital range from two to eight weeks depending on student and hospital schedules. All Veterinary students (regardless of class year) are encouraged to participate in NVA externships.

Veterinary students who are in the clinical portion of their education are eligible for a travel/living expense stipend. Travel and stipend program details are available from the program administrators.
