Our hands‑on externships are designed exclusively for veterinary students at AVMA‑accredited veterinary schools in their clinical years, typically meaning their 3rd or 4th year of vet school.

To make externships accessible we offer stipends to offset travel and lodging costs (unless prohibited by your veterinary school).
