ABOUT THE EXTERNSHIP

VEG’s Veterinary Technician / Nursing Student Externship Program gives vet tech / nursing students hands-on experience in emergency medicine while working alongside our credentialed, emergency veterinary technicians. Students will focus on honing their emergency skills including obtaining patient vitals, processing laboratory samples, caring for hospitalized patients, triaging emerging cases, and collaborating in a fast-paced environment. If you’re as interested in emergency medicine as we are, we’d love to have you!

Note : Unless you are already employed by us, this is an unpaid externship. Rabies vaccinations are required for all externs (even if you are already employed by us) since you may be handling pets with an unknown rabies vaccination status.

• Flexibility : YOU Choose the length of your externship to meet your school’s requirements
• Location : YOU choose where you'd like to extern (depending on hospital bandwidth)
• Mentorship : YOU will be supported by a credentialed veterinary technician
• Focus : YOU will be fully-immersed in what emergency medicine truly entails
