Advance your education and career with a Veterinary Externship at DoveLewis Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Hospital. Externships are available to fourth-year veterinary students currently enrolled in an accredited college of veterinary medicine.
As a Veterinary Extern you will practice your knowledge and clinical skills under the direction of our doctors at our state-of-the-art, non-profit, AAHA-accredited and VECCS Level 1-certified teaching hospital.
DoveLewis is more than an amazing hospital, we are also a non-profit with a history of serving the animal loving community for over 50 years! In addition to providing top of the line emergency and specialty care to the greater Portland metro area, we also have several community funds to help low-income families, lost pets, abused animals, and wildlife access emergency care. Some of our other community programs include our onsite blood bank, pet loss support programs, and the Portland Area Canine Therapy Team (PACTT).
Externships are scheduled for a two-week period of time and start on every other Monday. This is a 40-hours-per-week commitment. Externships focus primarily on ER and ICU, although we will do our best to accommodate requests to shadow in one of our specialty departments as well. Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis and positions are available throughout the year excluding the month of June and the end of December.
Requirements:
- Externships are available to fourth-year veterinary students currently enrolled in an AVMA accredited college of veterinary medicine.
