A Flexible Timeframe & Picturesque Lodging...

Externs will choose the length of visit (2,4,6, or 8 weeks) and will receive complimentary housing throughout the stay, the house overlooks the horse pastures of the southernmost clinic.  

A Multi-Faceted Experience...

Each extern will be assigned to one supervising technician; yet, externs can work with other technicians if the college’s program permits. Regardless of the assigned supervising technician, our environment will allow each student the opportunity to witness the differences in approach among various practitioners. With a diverse team and three distinct practice locations, our goal is to provide each extern with an array of medical cases, clientele, and medical approaches while continually subscribing to the underlying principles taught in school.  

State of the Art Technology...

Our clinics are equipped with: Digital X-Rays,  Digital Dental X-Rays, CO2 Cutting Laser (the practice owner was the 2nd veterinarian in the world to receive certification), Electro Surgery Unit, Ultrasound, High-End Dental Equipment, Orthopedic Surgical Equipment, Cardiac and 02 Monitors, Cold Laser, and Abaxis Blood Analyzation Suite.

Extern will be paired with our Technicians to work on their hands on skills. The Extern will be practicing restraint, blood draws, catheter placement, x-rays, anesthetic monitoring, and all other aspects of a Technician’s job.
