What is the difference between Extern vs Intern?

AspectExternIntern
CredentialsOften no formal requirements, may include students or recent graduatesTypically students seeking practical experience, may require enrollment in a program
Work EnvironmentShort-term, observational, or project-based rolesHands-on tasks, active participation in daily work
PurposeLearning and observation, networkingSkill development, work experience, potential pathway to employment

Externs and interns both gain industry exposure, but externships are usually shorter and more observational, while internships involve active participation and skill development. Employers use externships for brief learning experiences, whereas internships often serve as a stepping stone to full-time roles.

What is an extern?

Externs are students or recent graduates who participate in short-term, practical learning experiences, often as part of their academic curriculum or career exploration. Unlike interns, externs typically observe professionals in their field, shadow them, and may take on limited hands-on tasks. Externships usually last from a few days to a few weeks and are designed to give participants insight into a specific industry or role. They offer valuable networking opportunities and can help externs decide if a particular career path is right for them.

Is an extern or intern paid?

An extern or intern may be paid or unpaid depending on the organization, industry, and specific program. Paid internships are common in many fields, especially for college students, while some externships and unpaid internships focus on training and experience. It is important to review the specific opportunity's terms before applying.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an extern, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Extern, you generally need a foundational knowledge in your field of study, strong academic standing, and relevant coursework or training. Familiarity with industry-specific tools, software, or laboratory equipment is often required, and some programs may prefer candidates with prior internships or certifications. Strong communication, adaptability, and eagerness to learn help Externs stand out and build positive relationships in professional environments. These skills and qualities are essential for maximizing learning opportunities and contributing effectively during the externship experience.

What responsibilities can I expect during an externship, and how do they differ from those of full-time staff?

As an extern, you will typically engage in observational learning, shadowing experienced professionals, and assisting with specific tasks relevant to your field. Your responsibilities may include supporting ongoing projects, conducting research, or helping with administrative duties, all under close supervision. Unlike full-time staff, externs are not usually responsible for independent decision-making or managing critical assignments, but you will have opportunities to apply academic knowledge in real-world settings and gain practical insights into the profession.

Job description


California Animal Rehabilitation (CARE) is an integrative, holistic animal rehabilitation clinic housed in an 8,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art facility in west Los Angeles. We see mostly dogs, some cats, and the rare exotic small animal.
Treatment modalities employed include: acupuncture, animal physical rehabilitation, underwater treadmill, pool swims, cold laser, "red" (wound healing) laser, ultrasound, pulsed signal therapy, tPEMF, acupuncture, western and Chinese herbology, homeopathy, electronical stimulation, massage, etc.
We are a full-scale facility with rehabilitation, orthotic and cart fittings, preventative fitness, boarding, and grooming available in-house.
Our unique treatment model pairs Doctors of Physical Therapy certified in canine rehabilitation with veterinarians certified in acupuncture and canine rehabilitation.
Our case breakdown is approximately:
  • 40% neurological
  • 40% orthopedic
  • 20% miscellaneous other
  • Geriatric patients account for approximately 75% of cases
  • 50 patients per day

Most of the hands-on experience would consist of palpation, demonstration of physical therapy modalities, involvement in case discussions, etc. ; the level of hands-on experience is dependent upon the extern her/himself. While we cannot allow externs to "treat" patients, we provide whatever hands-on experience is possible within that parameter.
The extern will be responsible for active attention and intellectual participation during observation of the full range of CARE's services.
• Geriatrics account for approximately 75% of our case load
• We see roughly 50 patients a day in total each day
• In general, each patient is seen by a physical therapist CCRT and a veterinarian CCRT during their session at CARE
• Your schedule would be arranged around your individual externship goals, and to make sure that you observe the full range of therapeutic services at CARE.
• You would observe multiple CCRTs during your externship
• Your hands-on experience would consist of demonstrating proficiency in the skills observed during your externship. You would not be the one to actually "treat" any patients.
• While with a Doctor of Physical Therapy, you would demonstrate stretches/ROM/manipulations you observed during the session
A unique aspect of our treatment model is the pairing of a Doctor of Physical Therapy with CCRT veterinarians to produce the most comprehensive results.
Ethos Veterinary Health, part of the NVA Group, is where you come to practice world-class medicine, and help shape what veterinary care becomes next.
Across our network of 140 specialty and emergency hospitals, science moves forward, standards are elevated, and innovation is put into practice every day. You'll work alongside respected veterinary leaders in academic-caliber hospitals designed for learning, teaching, and discovery.
Here, mentorship is a two-way street. You'll share your expertise, learn from others, and continue to grow, clinically, professionally, and personally.
At Ethos, you inspire hope, deliver exceptional care, and pursue veterinary medicine at its highest level, together.
Benefits for this role may include health insurance (medical, dental, vision), retirement benefits, paid time off (including sick leave and vacation), short-term and long-term disability, and life insurance.
Ethos is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Ethos does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, physical or mental disability, national origin, veteran status or any other basis covered by appropriate law. All employment is decided based on qualifications, competence, merit, and business need.
