Testimonials from Past Externs

As a fourth year vet student, I found the time I spent at CLVC to be super valuable. The staff were encouraging and helpful, and I got a lot of hands on practice. I gained a lot of surgical experience and got to interact with clients firsthand. I’d recommend an externship here!

During my fourth year of vet school, I had the pleasure of spending 2 weeks at County Line for an externship. The staff was so welcoming and helpful, they immediately calmed my nerves and made me feel included. Dr. Fowler as well as the associate veterinarians were happy to answer questions and fostered learning through doing. I was able to get valuable clinical experience such as scrubbing in on a bladder stone removal, performing an aural hematoma surgery, and canine neuter while under their encouraging guidance. I was also able to participate in the day to day of client education, physical examinations and interpreting diagnostics. Definitely a great place to externship to foster putting all that knowledge into clinical practice!
