An externship at AVES offers 3rd and 4th year veterinary students the opportunity to work under the mentorship and guidance of our board-certified specialists and highly trained emergency veterinarians. Our current specialties include Internal Medicine, Interventional Radiology, Surgery, Neurology, Critical Care, Medical Oncology, Anesthesiology, and Diagnostic Imaging, with the use of ultrasound, CT, MRI, fluoroscopy, x-ray, and high-flow oxygen.

Our student externship program is flexible, with most students working in two-to-four-week program blocks. We welcome students in their 3rd and 4th year clinical rotations and will customize your involvement according to your current knowledge and skill level, while also ensuring you grow and learn. During your externship, you will work closely with attending veterinarians, shadow in exam rooms, perform hands-on exams, diagnostics, and procedures whenever possible, and participate in informal rounds with our clinicians.
Austin is home to many unique attractions and offers something for everyone during your time off.
