Bay Moorings Animal Hospital was recently remodeled and we can't wait to welcome you for an externship in our state-of-the art practice!   Students will work closely with the supervising veterinarian to gain experience in gathering patient histories, performing physical exams, creation of treatment plans, diagnostics, dentistry services, observing/assisting or performing surgical procedures, and medical management of patients. In addition to practicing their clinical skills, student externs will have the opportunity to practice their communication skills with the medical team, support staff, and clients.    You will find our team creates trusting relationships with our clients that fosters an attitude of friendliness, caring, and compassion.  We are also across the Skyway Marina where you may get a glimpse of dolphins and /or manatees in the bay.
Most externship experiences range from two to eight weeks depending on student and hospital schedules. All veterinary students (regardless of class year) are encouraged to participate in NVA externships.Externships at Bay Moorings Animal Hospital are designed for clinical year veterinary students.    Veterinary students who are in the clinical portion of their education are eligible for a travel/living expense stipend.
