An externship experience at an NVA hospital will give students the unique opportunity to understand the day-to-day operations of the practice, and to gain valuable hands-on clinical experience. Although every NVA hospital is unique, we all have some things in common: an environment that is supportive, committed to excellent medicine, and provides exceptional service to animals and the people who love them.
The Cat Clinic in Hamilton, Ontario offers an exceptional externship opportunity for veterinary students passionate about feline care. Established in 1978, The Cat Clinic has been a trusted name in the community, dedicated exclusively to the health and comfort of cats. As a student, you'll join a team that prides itself on maintaining the highest standards of feline medicine, supported by their Cat Friendly Gold Certification and Fear Free Certification. Here, you will gain hands-on experience in a wide range of veterinary services, including advanced diagnostics, surgery, and preventive care, all in a supportive and educational environment designed to minimize stress for both cats and their owners. This externship is a unique chance to work with experienced professionals and learn the latest in feline veterinary care while contributing to a clinic that truly values the well-being of its patients.
Students will work closely with the supervising veterinarian to gain experience in gathering patient histories, performing physical exams, creation of treatment plans, diagnostics, dentistry services, observing/assisting or performing surgical procedures, and medical management of patients. In addition to practicing their clinical skills, student externs will have the opportunity to practice their communication skills with the medical team, support staff, and clients.
Most externship experiences range from two to eight weeks depending on student and hospital schedules. Students in their 4th or clinical year are encouraged to apply.
