Current veterinary students! Come join us for an unmatched opportunity to develop your professional skills in one of our fast paced, non appointment, contemporary hospitals! We focus on mentorship and development through a hands-on style of teaching at all of our  Northwest Indiana and Illinois locations. You will be guided by an experienced team of doctors whose knowledge and individual attention will help you learn to deliver the highest standard of compassionate veterinary care while also developing your client communication skills.

Program Structure

We offer flexible externships that range from two to eight weeks year round, all set to align with your availability. Often you will be scheduled Monday-Friday days so you can explore the normal daily life and caseload of a busy general small animal practice.

Responsibilities

Under the direct supervision of a rotating team of experienced doctors you will be exposed to various methods of practice and teaching styles, ensuring that you achieve your maximum growth and potential. You will assist in working up cases, developing diagnostic plans, providing general wellness care, refining technical skills, writing medical records, expanding your client communication skills, scrubbing into surgery and potentially even helping with rehab and reproductive procedures depending on the location.

What we offer

• Hourly rate or weekly stipend
• Housing available at some locations 
• Hands on practice, training and mentorship from accomplished DVMs
• Access to the newest equipment, including rehab, ultrasound, and modern in house labs
• Unlimited growth and learning potential in fast paced non appointment hospitals

Who you are

We are looking for dynamic, enthusiastic current veterinary students who will uphold the professional and ethical standards of care our practices strive to deliver to all patients. When you are externing with us you become part of the Coyne team and are expected to represent the core values we consistently represent.  You must be: insured by SAVMA or another similar entity, in good academic standing with your school, eager to learn and take on new challenges and eventually considering work in a small animal practice as one of your career options.
