Veterinary Extern - General Practice

is a GP practice that has been open for over 50 years. We see cats and dogs and a large variety of exotics including Avians, Reptiles, Amphibians, and Pocket Pets. We also service the animals of the local zoo. 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. Externships at Bowmanville Veterianry Clinic are offered to 4th year veterinary students. Veterinary students who are in the clinical portion of their education are eligible for a travel / living expense stipend. Click to view list of stipend amounts and for details on the stipend program.
