Externships for Pre-Veterinary Students

College students who are considering veterinary medicine as a career need to shadow both large and small animal veterinarians in order to apply to veterinary school. College students interested in veterinary careers are invited to schedule a ride along day to sample equine ambulatory practice. Exceptionally motivated students may then be invited to participate in a pre-veterinary externship during which they shadow GVEC veterinarians eight to ten times, usually not more than two days in any one week.

Note: We cannot honor requests to write letters of recommendation for students who have spent less than 80 hours with our practice. Sorry, we are not able to take students under 18 years of age.

If you are interested in learning more about our pre-veterinary externship, please call the clinic to request a student information packet and application. You can also e-mail Laura Johnson, our student liason, directly at studentinfo-gvec@rochester.rr.com . Please give us your current mailing and e-mail addresses.
