Job description

An externship experience at an NVA hospital will give students the unique opportunity to understand the day-to-day operations of the practice, and to gain valuable hands-on clinical experience. Although every NVA hospital is unique, we all have some things in common: an environment that is supportive, committed to excellent medicine, and provides exceptional service to animals and the people who love them. 

At the Chatham-Kent Veterinary Hospital Group (locally known as CK Vets), veterinary students seeking an externship will find a warm and welcoming environment dedicated to high-quality care for pets. Our team of veterinarians, technicians, and animal care specialists are passionate about preventive care and the latest medical advancements. You'll have the opportunity to work alongside experienced professionals gaining hands-on experience in diverse cases and advanced procedures, including dentistry, ultrasound, and surgery. Our community-focused approach encourages strong relationships with pet owners, making them active partners in their pets' health decisions. Join us to expand your skills and become part of a supportive and dedicated team.  The practices in our group are:

Chatham-Kent Veterinary Hospital (Chatham, Ontario)
Blenheim Veterinary Hospital (Blenheim, Ontario)
South Ridge Veterinary Clinic (Ridgetown, Ontario)
Wallaceburg Animal Hospital (Wallaceburg, Ontario)
 
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. Veterinary students in their 4th or clinic year are encouraged to apply.
 
 
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.
