Veterinary Career Network

So much of veterinary medicine is about the person not the pet.  The skills of client communication have to be learned no different than the nuances of Cushings.  We all want to be heard, but the challenge is often in the listening.  Our externship focuses not only on the real world of veterinary medicine but also the art of communication.  Learn how to say "I don't know, but I can find out for you" with confidence. 

Each week will have a different emphasis based on the extern’s specific interest along with clinical practice.  Stipend and housing negotiable.
