ABOUT THE EXTERNSHIP

VEG's Veterinary Technician Student Externship Program gives vet tech 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: This is an unpaid externship and rabies vaccinations are required unless your school's rabies mitigation policy allows you to be unvaccinated and still handle unvaccinated pets.

• 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

REQUIREMENTS

• Currently enrolled in an AVMA accredited veterinary technology or veterinary nursing program (or one actively seeking accreditation) and will be in a class that requires externship hours and/or skills. This application is not for veterinary students or veterinary assistant students - only veterinary technology or veterinary nursing students.
• Your externship must need to begin within 6 months of application.
• You must be vaccinated for rabies unless your school's rabies mitigation policy allows unvaccinated students to handle unvaccinated animals.
