• DVM Extern Advance your education and career with a Veterinary Externship at DoveLewis Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Hospital. Externships are available to fourth-year veterinary students currently enrolled in an accredited college of veterinary medicine. As a Veterinary Extern, you will observe a fast-paced specialty hospital, particularly in our ER and ICU and learn from our staff doctors at a state-of-the-art, non-profit, AAHA-accredited, and VECCS Level 1-certified teaching hospital. This externship is geared towards students interested in applying to our post-graduation rotating internship or ECC residency. DoveLewis is a different kind of veterinary hospital. As a non-profit with no private equity or corporate investors , we have built a collaborative community that is dedicated to serving every animal and every person who cares for them. Join our AAHA-accredited and VECCS Level 1 medical center that includes a brand-new, state-of-the-art building for our specialty departments , a 3 Tesla MRI, and 64-slice C T . We also have several community funds to help low-income families, lost pets, abused animals, and wildlife access emergency care. Some of our other community programs include our on-site blood bank, pet loss support programs, and the Portland Area Canine Therapy Team (PACTT). Externships last two weeks and start every other Monday. Students work on the floor four days a week, 10-12 hours daily. Externships are primarily observational ER rotations that do not replace preceptorships or other graded rotations. DoveLewis cannot provide evaluations to universities upon completion of the rotation and can only verify attendance for independent study credits. We accept applications on an ongoing basis. Rotations are available most of the year, excluding June and the end of December. Requirements: • Externships are available to fourth-year veterinary students currently enrolled in an AVMA accredited college of veterinary medicine. • Externs must be eligible to work in the United States. • Externs must be able/willing to sign a liability waiver. • Externs understand this is an observational externship and not a preceptorship.
