Experience Boise: 2-Week Externship at Ada Animal Hospital
Are you a Veterinary Student looking to get out of the classroom and into the heart of clinical practice? Come see why private, local ownership makes all the difference!
Ada Animal Hospital is opening our doors to 3rd and 4th-year DVM students for a high-impact, two-week externship in the heart of Boise, Idaho.
Why Extern with Us?
Forget being a fly on the wall. At our privately-owned clinic, you aren't just a number in a corporate pipeline. You’ll get a front-row seat to how a successful, independent practice thrives.
- Hands-On Learning: Dive into the "real world" of small animal medicine, from wellness exams to complex surgeries and diagnostics.
- True Mentorship: Our doctors love to teach. We’ll walk you through case management, client communication, and surgical techniques—no corporate scripts allowed.
- The Private Practice Edge: Learn the "business" side of vet med from the people who actually own the building. See how we make decisions that prioritize patients over profits.
- Explore Boise: Use your evenings and weekends to discover why Boise is a world-class destination for hiking, biking, and great food.
What’s Included
- Diverse Case Load: Experience a mix of preventative care, urgent care, and surgery.
- Tech Access: Get hands-on with digital dental radiology, ultrasound, and our full in-house lab.
- Boise Vibes: We’re happy to provide recommendations for the best local spots to hit during your stay!
Who We’re Looking For
Current 3rd or 4th-year DVM/VMD students. Students who are curious, proactive, and eager to jump into a busy (but fun!) environment. Someone who values the community feel of a locally-owned clinic.
Ready to pack your bags?
We’d love to have you. We keep our externship schedule limited to ensure you get the one-on-one time you deserve. And we can provide housing!
