Longwood Animal Hospital offers up to a $1000 travel stipend for Clinical Year Externships.

At Longwood Animal Hospital and Pet Resort, we have four DVMs that regularly collaborate on cases and are passionate about mentoring.  Our support staff is tenured, driven, and continually working to develop themselves and each other while also providing quality support to their DVMs.     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.     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.   Veterinary students who are in the clinical portion of their education are eligible for a travel/living expense stipend.
