The externship program at Woodside Equine Clinic will provide a comprehensive learning curve in all aspects of an advanced and progressive equine clinic. The high volume caseload will enhance the individual’s clinical competency, diagnostic skills and communication skills. Mentoring will be provided by 7 experienced clinicians/ veterinarians in the fields of lameness, surgery, internal medicine, ophthalmology, reproduction, acupuncture and chiropractic, as well as advanced dentistry. Students should have completed at least one year of veterinary school. The practice will ensure that the student has the opportunity to spend equal time with each clinician and participate in all activities. The primary goal is to give the student an in-depth exposure to the type of experience available as an intern. Externs are required to assist the current interns with treatment of hospital cases; assist clinicians in diagnostic and therapeutic care of hospital cases and out-patients; as well as assist clinicians on ambulatory calls. This will include emergency cases. Student must provide their own insurance or AVMA PLIT insurance with proof of payment of annual fee. Housing is not available on site, but we will provide you with a list of area housing available for a minimal fee in your application packet. Students will also be expected to provide their own transportation to and from the clinic. Please feel free to contact us for more information.
