OUR TEACHING MISSION

“It starts with CARE and ends with PRIDE…”

Here at Bailey Veterinary Clinic, our teaching mission goes beyond our own clinic and community. We have the mindset of pursuing the future of the industry and advancing the level of knowledge and care that is available to our patients and our clients. We believe that the greater we are able to support and grow the next generation of veterinarians, the greater their ability to prepare for their career ahead. Veterinary medicine can be tough at times. Having a strong community around you, can make a world of difference.

DVM EXTERNSHIPS

Our externships are available to students currently enrolled in an accredited college of veterinary medicine and provides intensive hands-on emergency, critical care, and GP medicine experience. Students will focus on learning how to effectively communicate with clients, diagnose a variety of conditions, develop treatment plans, and collaborate with support staff in a fast-paced environment.

This is a 40 hour per week commitment. Externships are generally scheduled for a two-week period of time and start every other Monday.  Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis and positions are available throughout the year. Externs must be eligible to work in the United States.
