Veterinary Extern - General Practice
Lathrop Veterinary Center is the first veterinary hospital in the city of Lathrop, California. We are a welcoming, state-of-the-art small animal practice, led by UC Davis Alumna, Dr. Cathy Wallace.
At Lathrop Veterinary Center, we are the neighborhood pet care experts — combining advanced medicine with genuine compassion. We’ve proudly served Lathrop and surrounding communities since 2008 from our modern, up-to-date facility with the latest equipment and resources.
You’ll be part of a supportive, team-oriented environment where collaboration and professional growth are valued. We believe in treating every patient as if they were our own — fostering strong relationships with both pets and their families.
An externship experience at an NVA hospital will give students the unique opportunity to understand the day-to-day operations of the practice and to gain valuable hands-on clinical experience. Although every NVA hospital is unique, we all have some things in common: an environment that is supportive, committed to excellent medicine, and provides exceptional service to animals and the people who love them.
Students will work closely with Dr. Wallace and staff to gain experience in gathering patient histories, performing physical exams, creation of treatment plans, diagnostics, dentistry services, observing/assisting or performing surgical procedures, and medical management of patients. In addition to practicing their clinical skills, student externs will have the opportunity to practice their communication skills with the medical team, support staff, and clients.
Most externship experiences range from two to eight weeks depending on student and hospital schedules. Externships at are designed for 3rd and 4th year students.
Veterinary students who are in the clinical portion of their education are eligible for a travel/living expense stipend. Click HERE to view list of stipend amounts and HERE for details on the stipend program. The stipend amount for Lathrop Veterinary Center is $1,000.
