Externships

AVS Equine Hospital offers veterinary students the opportunity to experience the “real world” of private practice while satisfying externship requirements for their degree. Externs will observe and/or assist based on skill level in the following areas: reproduction, lameness evaluations, surgery, anesthesiology, radiology, and internal medicine. Clinicians and interns will discuss and explain cases and procedures whenever possible.

A roomy one-bedroom, one bath apartment is available for externs at no cost to the student and must be reserved when scheduling an externship. Externships can be for a period of up to six weeks. If you have a specific interest, such as theriogenology, please consult with the contact below to ensure your externship coincides with the heaviest caseload time period.

To request an externship application or for additional information please contact Joe Fisch, DVM at jfischdvm@avsequinehospital.com
