Michigan Humane Veterinary Externship

As a Michigan Humane extern, you will have the opportunity to gain exposure to a diverse caseload not seen in a traditional veterinary practice setting. Our medical team oversees the daily and emergency care of animals in our clinic and shelter. Externs will benefit from working alongside a team of skilled veterinary professionals while working in top notch medical facilities, utilizing state of the art equipment, including ultrasound, high speed dental, digital x-ray, digital dental x-ray and cautery. 
Designed for 3rd or 4th-year veterinary students currently enrolled in an accredited veterinary school program,  our externships are for those who are seeking hands-on clinical experience and mentorship in a clinic and/or shelter setting. Each extern will be assigned an experienced veterinary professional as their personal mentor, working to develop their skillset and expand their clinical expertise. Students may choose from one of the following areas of focus: Clinical Medicine, Shelter Medicine, Surgery, Field Services, or Behavior. If you would like to experience a bit of everything, we have a general rotation available.
