Our hometown clinic provides you with the opportunity to expand into other areas of specialized care according to your training and passion. We believe that a job shouldn’t be a list of do’s and don’ts, but it should be your life passion and purpose. Unlike working in a larger clinic or for a corporately owned franchise you will have autonomy and ownership over your practical care decisions. We believe in a  common sense approach and doing what is best for each client and patient as individuals, not as boxes to be checked off or financial quotas to be met.

Internship/Externship

DVM Student Externship/Preceptorship Program

 

We’re making an investment in the next generation of veterinary doctors!

As part of the professional veterinary curriculum, colleges encourage off-campus educational experiences in practices outside of the teaching hospital. Practical experience in a well-run environment can be a valuable component of your veterinary education, preparing you to deliver better care. Mitchell Veterinary Clinic wants to help get you practice-ready and to help you hit the ground running after graduation.

Our program structure:

Our externships are flexible—they can range from two to eight weeks during the year, according to your college curriculum – but are typically two or three weeks in length. Your schedule will follow regular clinic hours, Mon-Fri 8:30 – 5:00p and Sat 8:30a – 12p.

 

Our externship rotations are designed to allow students, under veterinary supervision, to practice the prob

 

lem-solving, and technical and communication skills that they have acquired during their clinical preparation. Externs are given the opportunity to work alongside Dr Bryan Mitchell and are encouraged to participate in all aspects of patient care. Room and Board and a small stipend is provided to each extern.

What you’ll be doing:

 

Externs experience the typical caseload of a small animal practice. Under the supervision of Dr Bryan you will gather histories, perform physical examinations, develop diagnostic and therapeutic plans, scrub in to surgery, assist in the management of medical cases, provide wellness care, develop your client communication skills, polish your technical skills and produce appropriate medical records (SOAPs) within the time limits of daily practice.

Who we’re looking for:

Extern students are expected to be enthusiastic and effective participants in our patient care activities while upholding the professional and ethical standards of our practice. As a veterinary student extern, we expect you to dress and behave in a professional manner and to meet the expectations that we have of all team members.

 

Requirements:
  • Be enrolled in an accredited DVM program.
  • You are authorized to work in the United States.
  • You must carry professional liability insurance. AVMA PLIT liability insurance is free for all student members of the AVMA. You may apply for this coverage on their website. Please check to make sure your coverage is current and submit a certificate of coverage with your application.
About us:

 

As sponsors of the Veterinary Externship Program, we see ourselves to be part of your educational team, providing instruction, mentoring and evaluation of the students who participate.  Dr Bryan, as your mentor, will guide you as you work on the learning objectives as defined by your college program or to meet your specific goals. At the end of the externship he will provide a written evaluation of your performance as required by your college program.

We look forward to working with you!
