Veterinary Student Externship Opportunities
Amador Valley Veterinary Center offers veterinary student externship opportunities year-round for periods of 1-4 weeks for 3rd and 4th-year veterinary students with Bishop Ranch Veterinary Center & Urgent Care. Only one extern is present at any given time to provide each student with the most hands‐on experience possible. Veterinary students are also offered the opportunity to learn about business operations, client communications, and specialized areas of the practice – Holistic, Internal, Exotic and Reproductive Medicine, and Emergency Medicine.

Goals of Externship Experience: In addition to giving students experience by assisting with general surgery, specialty surgery, advanced procedures (laparoscopy), and diagnostics (ultrasound), students will also receive exposure to and assistance with other areas of Veterinary Medicine

The Externship will:

• Expose the student to client relations, practice management, and problem-solving.

• Facilitate the student's transition from the academic environment to the hands‐on world of clinical veterinary practice.

• Allow the student to experience how veterinarians obtain the confidence and goodwill of clients.

• Give the student the opportunity to identify the legal, ethical, and moral challenges associated with veterinary practice and to judge how they would respond in such situations.

• Enable the student to recognize the benefits of successful practice management.
  
  

It is anticipated that students will come to appreciate the day-to-day role of the various employees in a veterinary practice, their contributions to a smoothly functioning hospital, and the importance fo everyone being a team player.

Students will have the opportunity to shadow various veterinarians during appointments, will be responsible for developing problem lists and treatment plans (including diagnostic and surgical recommendations), and will be responsible for assisting veterinarians and veterinary staff with monitoring cases. Hands-on experience with diagnostic and surgery will be supported as much as possible.

Depending on the time of year housing may be available for visiting students.
