About our Externship Program
St Paul Pet Hospital (SPPH) accepts students enrolled in their junior and senior years of veterinary school for rotations of one to four weeks in length to fulfill private practice or elective curriculum requirements.
At SPPH we believe that mentorship is a critical step of life-long learning, and is vital to engaging the future generation of scientists. We are strongly committed to sharing and teaching the most progressive medicine with veterinary students, staff, and our clients. By volunteering our time and wisdom, we ensure that the future of science and veterinary medicine is strong. Our objective is to educate veterinary student externs while maintaining the highest caliber patient care, communication, and service to our clients. SPPH’s externship program is for you, if:
• You are currently enrolled in an AVMA-accredited university veterinary degree program.
• You are looking for experience in a fast-paced small animal general practice with lots of hands-on opportunities.
• You are hard-working, motivated, intelligent, friendly, and enjoy working with others.
We do not require nor do we provide professional liability (malpractice) insurance, health insurance or worker’s compensation for externs. If an extern’s university mandates that insurance coverage be obtained, it is the responsibility of the extern to arrange such coverage. We are happy to provide a letter confirming your acceptance if this is required.
SPPH does not charge visiting students for participation in our externship program, nor do we provide any compensation/payment to externs.
We are not able to provide or assist in arrangement of housing accommodations for visiting students.
SPPH accepts applications from students attending AVMA-accredited universities abroad. However, because the externship program is designed to provide university credit for the senior year curriculum, students of AVMA-accredited universities in the U.S. and Canada are given priority when scheduling rotations. At this time, we are not able to accept applications from students of non-accredited universities.
