Veterinary Extern - General Practice

Caton Crossing Animal Hospital
Plainfield, IL

is a small group dedicated to our patients, body, and mind. We strive to provide a low stress/ fear free environment and high-quality medicine. We have an amazing Managing Veterinarian who loves to teach and a doctor on staff who performs orthopedic procedures. Our staff knows how to make a workday fun while getting work done! You are sure to receive a valuable and educational externship experience at our newly renovated hospital!

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. Click HERE to view list of stipend amounts and HERE for details on the stipend program. The stipend amount for Caton Crossing Animal Hospital is $1,500.
