Veterinary Extern - General Practice

Overview

An externship is an unpaid educational experience. NVA hospitals offer students the 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 share common goals: a supportive environment, a commitment to excellent medicine, and the provision of exceptional service to animals and the people who love them. Invermere Veterinary Hospital is a general practice located in Invermere, BC.

In addition to practicing clinical skills, externs will have the opportunity to practice their communication with the medical team, support staff, and clients.
