Veterinary Student Externship Program at Hicks Animal Clinic:
Investing in the Next Generation of Veterinarians
At Hicks Animal Clinic, we are proud to support the future of veterinary medicine through our Veterinary Student Externship Program. This program is designed to provide meaningful hands-on, in-practice experience that helps students build confidence and hit the ground running after graduation.
Program Structure
Our externships are flexible, ranging from two to four weeks based on student needs, with two weeks being the most common duration. The program is structured to allow students, under direct veterinary supervision, to develop problem-solving, technical, and communication skills within a small animal general practice setting.
Externs work closely with our veterinary team and are encouraged to participate in all aspects of patient care to gain a well-rounded clinical experience.
What You’ll Be Doing
Externs at Hicks Animal Clinic will experience a typical small animal general practice caseload. Under veterinary supervision, students will have opportunities to:
Gather patient histories
Perform physical examinations
Assist with drop-off workups
Develop diagnostic and therapeutic plans
Scrub in and assist with surgical procedures
Help manage medical cases
Provide wellness and preventative care
Strengthen client communication skills
Refine technical skills
Complete appropriate medical records (SOAPs)
Who We’re Looking For
We seek enthusiastic, engaged veterinary students who are eager to learn and actively participate in patient care while upholding the professional and ethical standards of our practice. Students are encouraged to review the North Carolina Veterinary Practice Act (90-187.6) regarding the scope of duties permitted during externships.
Externs are expected to conduct themselves professionally and meet the same standards expected of all Hicks Animal Clinic team members, as outlined in our general office policies.
