Allegan Veterinary Clinic provides a healthy culture with a new facility and equipment, ultrasound, Idexx equipment, and the ability to work with shelter animals.
Students will work closely with the supervising veterinarian to gain experience in gathering patient histories, performing physical exams, creation of treatment plans, diagnostics, dentistry services, observing/assisting or performing surgical procedures, and medical management of patients. In addition to practicing their clinical skills, student externs will have the opportunity to practice their communication skills with the medical team, support staff, and clients.
Most externship experiences range from two to eight weeks depending on student and hospital schedules. We offer externships to 3rd and 4th year veterinary students.
Veterinary students who are in the
clinical portion of their education are eligible for a travel/living expense stipend. Click
