All vet students need externships in a clinic setting to build their medical skills or meet veterinary school graduation requirements. But why limit your experience to shadowing veterinarians when you can work with them to apply what you’ve learned in the classroom to the exam room?
At Hawthorne Animal Hospital, we value the knowledge and perspectives you bring to your externship and do everything we can to ensure you get the most out of your time with us. Our veterinarians don’t just bark orders at you—instead, you’ll be fully immersed in patient care, including actively participating in hospital rounds, sharing your insights on cases and diagnoses, and for fourth-year students, scrubbing in on procedures and surgeries.
