Externs are often involved in patient care, client communications, and medical record-keeping, gaining exposure to both routine check-ups and emergency cases. While responsibilities may vary by clinic or hospital, the externship is designed to provide practical experience and mentorship that closely mirrors the day-to-day work of a practicing veterinarian.
