Veterinary Extern - General Practice Mississauga Animal Hospital
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. 
Mississauga Animal Hospital, located in Mississauga, Ontario, offers an enriching externship program for veterinary students seeking hands-on experience in a supportive and professional environment. With over 35 years of trusted veterinary care, the hospital provides students with the opportunity to engage in various aspects of veterinary medicine, from wellness exams and vaccines to advanced diagnostics and surgical procedures. Under the mentorship of experienced veterinarians, externs will gain practical skills and knowledge in a facility that emphasizes high-quality care and the well-being of pets. This program is ideal for students looking to expand their expertise in a dynamic and collaborative setting​.  Our close knit team is friendly and supportive.  For more information, please visit our website at https://www.mississaugaanimalhospital.ca/   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. Our externships are open to 4th year students.     Veterinary students who are in the clinical portion of their education are eligible for a travel/living expense stipend.
