Vet Student Externship - Austin/Houston/Philly

Emancipet
Austin, TX

Emancipet is seeking Veterinary student externs.

Emancipet's Externship Program offers currently enrolled Doctor of Veterinary Medicine students experience in our non-profit clinics.

We are so excited to have students work with us on our mission to make veterinary care affordable and accessible for EVERYONE. For over 20 years we’ve been building up a national network of low-cost veterinary clinics, strategically located in underserved communities. Inaccessibility of veterinary care has deep and tangled roots in other complex social problems like poverty, racism, and economic inequality. Our clinics aim to transform communities into places where no one ever has to forego veterinary care because the cost is out of reach.

Dates and Locations:

There are no application windows; you can apply at any time. Please specify the desired dates of your externship as well as which city (Austin, Houston, Philadelphia) you would like to visit.

Our clinics:

All clinics run a Healthy Pet Service Module (physical exams, vaccines, heartworm testing, FeLV/FIV testing, microchipping, deworming, prevention) and a Spay/Neuter Module (HQHVSN surgery ~30 patients a day). Some clinics also run additional modules such as Skin and Ears (Houston), Special Surgery (Central Austin), Dentistry (Central Austin), and Heartworm Treatment (Houston East End, Central Austin).

Student Experience:

You will be paired with a veterinarian each day shadowing in a specific module. Depending on your knowledge and previous experience, you may be allowed to perform venipuncture, IVC placement, intubation, IV induction, surgical prep, anesthetic monitoring, and post operative monitoring. At this time, all surgeries are performed on client owned animals. Therefore, we do not allow students to perform surgery. We are actively looking to establish community partnerships with shelters/rescues in hopes of incorporating surgical experience into the student extern experience in the future.

There may also be an opportunity for you to shadow our Chief Medical Officer, Senior Medical Director, and/or Veterinarian Trainer to introduce you to the non-clinical operational responsibilities of our veterinarians in leadership positions. Shadowing of these veterinarians will be primarily available in Austin.

Housing:

Please secure your own housing

THIS OPPORTUNITY IS ONLY OPEN TO STUDENTS CURRENTLY ENROLLED IN A DOCTORATE OF VETERINARY MEDICINE PROGRAM.
