South Carolina Veterinary Specialists and Emergency Care offers an externship program for veterinary students in their 3rd or 4th year to help their clinical training and expand their level of experience.

Externships are available in the following departments:

We try to limit one extern at a time per department to allow maximum benefit to the student. There is flexability with the amount of time per department (if more than one department will be rotated through), but your preferred time cannot be guaranteed due to scheduling. There are also some weeks out of the year some departments won’t be available due to conferences (ACVIM, VCS) and prior commitments. Please allow us up to 4 weeks to process your application.

All costs and arrangements for travel, accommodations, and food are the student’s responsibility.

Proof of liability insurance and health insurance is required prior to your start date. Please submit a CV with 3 references (including your relationship to them) with your application. You will also be required to sign an Acknowledgment and Release Waiver before starting.
