Get Out of the Classroom and Into the Cases!

Looking for an externship where you can do more than observe from the sidelines?

A privately owned small animal practice in Cleves, Ohio, just west of Cincinnati, is welcoming veterinary students who want meaningful, hands-on exposure to general practice medicine in a supportive environment.

This is a busy, established hospital with a varied caseload, experienced doctors, and a team that genuinely enjoys teaching. The goal of the externship is to meet you where you are in your training and give you opportunities to build confidence, ask questions, and become more comfortable applying what you have learned in veterinary school.

Mentorship That Fits You
There is no one-size-fits-all externship here.

Mentorship is tailored to each student's experience, confidence, and goals. If there is an area of medicine you would like more exposure to, the team wants to know. If there is something you have only learned about in the classroom and want to see applied clinically, this is an opportunity to ask questions and learn alongside practicing veterinarians.

Why Cleves?
-Located just west of Cincinnati
-Close to Northern Kentucky and the Indiana border
-Easy access to Cincinnati restaurants, entertainment, sporting events, and city amenities
-Near Miami Whitewater Forest and plenty of outdoor recreation
-A quieter suburban setting without being far from a major metro area

Externship Support
The practice wants the experience to be worthwhile both professionally and practically.

-Externs may be eligible for compensation during their experience
-Housing assistance may be available depending on timing and individual circumstances
-Externship arrangements can be discussed based on the student's schedule, goals, and travel needs

If you are coming from outside the Cincinnati area, the practice is open to discussing ways to help make the externship more accessible.
