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.

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.

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 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.

Job description


Applicants must be third or fourth-year students of accredited domestic or international veterinary schools, pursuing a DVM, VMD, or foreign equivalent.
Red Bank Veterinary Hospital is a well-established veterinary practice located on the beautiful Jersey shore in Monmouth County, minutes from the beach and an hour from New York City and Philadelphia. With robust internship and residency programs, we are proud of the fact that education is a core part of our hospital culture.
We offer an externship program for successful 3rd and 4th year clinical veterinary students of AVMA Accredited schools to further their training. Participating students observe cases from diagnosis through treatment, in one of the largest specialty hospitals in the United States. Ask questions, participate in grand rounds and department rounds, and attend in-house continuing education lectures during your stay. Eligible students may apply for an externship from one to four weeks, with no more than two weeks spent on a single service.
Red Bank Veterinary Hospital has free housing available for student externs located on a beautiful horse farm just 4 miles from the hospital. This is a dormitory-style living arrangement and you may be asked to share your room with another extern. Please note that with limited space housing will be booked on a first come, first serve basis.
For questions regarding Red Bank Veterinary Hospital Externships, please contact Julie McCarthy, Extern Coordinator, by email- Julie.mccarthy@rbvh.net or phone (732) 747-3636. For additional information on our services, please visit our website- https://www.redbankvet.com/.
Externships are available in the following departments:
  • Avian & Exotics
  • Cardiology
  • Emergency Medicine/Critical Care
  • General Medicine & Surgery
  • Internal Medicine
  • Neurology & Neurosurgery
  • Oncology (Medical, Radiation)
  • Ophthalmology (limited)
  • Surgery (Orthopedic & Soft Tissue)

We are a private practice hospital, and our patients have loving homes. Therefore, we are liable for the care and treatment of our patients. While participation in cases and interaction with staff is strongly encouraged, we limit clinical involvement to participation within Red Bank Veterinary Hospital-approved guidelines. We appreciate your cooperation and anticipate that you will find your time at our hospital to be a rewarding learning experience.
A separate extern/preceptor program is available for students attending Western University School of Veterinary Medicine. This preceptor program fulfills specific requirements set forth for the Western University Fourth Year veterinary curriculum.
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.
