Original job description
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.

Located in the heart of beautiful Thornbury, Ontario, the hospital provides a full range of veterinary services, including general practice, advanced orthopedic surgery, dentistry, and more.

This program is ideal for students looking to enhance their skills in a supportive and dynamic environment . For more information please visit our website at https://www.thornburyvet.com/

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.
