The primary purpose of our Veterinary Student Externship is to provide a hands-on learning experience for 3rd and 4th year students who are enrolled in a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine program. The program is typically scheduled for 2-week blocks at our hospital. We feel that the students who possess an open mind and a willingness to learn will benefit the most from our externship.
The Veterinary Student Extern is responsible for performing inpatient and outpatient medical care under the direct supervision of our veterinary staff. They will be expected to perform in-house diagnostic tests (hematology, chemistry, and radiology) with competence, perform routine client education, and to assist in surgical procedures.
Participants in the Veterinary Extern Program must currently be enrolled in an AVMA-accredited Doctor of Veterinary Medicine Program.
Stuart Sound Animal Hospital has been serving the Stuart, Hobe Sound, Palm City, and surrounding areas on the Atlantic coast of Florida for over a decade. In 2013, we opened a state-of-the-art facility with advanced technology for small animal veterinary care. Our hospital features digital radiology, ultrasonography, and in-house diagnostic tests. Notably, we are home to one of the only positive-pressure ventilated operating rooms on the Treasure Coast. We are a growing multi-doctor practice focused on providing top-notch care for sunny Florida's pets.
