Veterinarian Externship

Rarebreed Veterinary Partners focus on building trusted, lasting relationships with our partners and teams. We have a broad network of practices that values healthcare teams, provides compassionate care, and offers the innovation and tools necessary for them to grow – and most important, be happy. We believe that if we treat healthcare teams as our most important priority, they will thrive at work and focus on what they love doing most – caring for pets and their owners.

Founded in 1993, Animal Medical Center of Charlottesville offers the best available specialized services to small animal patients. In addition to routine care, we offer emergency care, digital x-rays, dental care, ultrasounds, laser therapy, in-clinic diagnostics, and surgery. The cornerstone of our practice has been, and always will be, to provide our clients with first-class service. Some of our clients have been right with us since our inception, and many more have joined us during our journey. We feel enormously grateful and privileged to be able to continue to serve this community.

We love working with Veterinary Students!

Our focus is to welcome you, as the next generation of veterinarians, into our hospitals. We focus on your goals and work closely with you and the hospital teams to insure that your clinical goals are accomplished under veterinarian supervision and we meet your needs.

Our externships are flexible—they can range from one to eight weeks during the year. Your schedule will include days, potentially some evenings, and weekends.

We want you to improve and apply your skills of clinical skills, problem-solving and communication skills. Externs are encouraged to participate in all aspects of patient care and case discussion. In many cases as an extern with us, you will be participating in wet labs, clinical skills labs and medical rounds.
