Students in this program will work closely with our Veterinarians, Certified Veterinarian Technicians, Program Assistants and other staff as part of their experience.
The Clinic and Community ServicesExternship Program is based out of the Howard Ash Animal Wellness Center.

Our mission is to inspire a community where the animal-human bond is celebrated and nurtured by breaking down barriers and offering safety nets for limited-income pet owners. While working alongside the Clinic and Community Services team, externs will help families keep their pets healthy by ensuring compassionate and quality veterinary care.
