Sulphur Animal Clinic places a strong emphasis on interactive learning and encouraged hands-on experience. We provide a comfortable, family-like atmosphere for our team members to learn and grow. Students will be exposed to a wide variety of diagnostic tools including radiology, ultrasound, hematology, and cytology. Our knowledgeable and friendly staff is dedicated to providing a supportive learning environment for all students.
  Students will work closely with the supervising Associate Veterinarians 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 at Sulphur Animal Clinic 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.
