Veterinary Student Externship:

Stillwater Equine offers to veterinary students an externship program that provides a clinical experience to satisfy the externship requirements for their degree. As a private clinic the amount of actual "hands-on" experience is somewhat limited. However, there is an enormous amount of information to be gained by observation and exposure to our heavy caseload. Clinicians, interns and technicians make every effort to explain hospital cases and procedures whenever possible. Externs work with Dr Arnesen or the 4 other ambulatory practitioners on a rotational basis. Externs have the opportunity to observe surgery, anesthesiology, internal medicine, lameness, ophthalmology and reproduction.

Veterinary Technician Externship:

Stillwater Equine offers an externship program for students enrolled in accredited Veterinary Technician curriculums. The program is designed to provide students an off campus experience under the supervision of a licensed veterinary technician. A period of clinical experience introduces the veterinary technician student to the various daily activities of an equine veterinary technician in the workplace. Students rotate through all areas of the hospital including radiology, surgery, medicine, reproduction, laboratory and ambulatory practice. Time frames are arranged on an individual basis to fit each student’s needs and schedules.

The externship is mainly observation based with hands on experience when the situation permits. Faculty from the respective colleges monitor the clinical affiliation via phone or visits throughout the program. If you are interested in an externship please contact the clinic at (651) 770-6167 or by e-mail at info@stillwaterequine.com
