THE AMC IS ONE OF THE WORLD’S LEADING VETERINARY TEACHING INSTITUTIONS
Our mission is to provide high-quality graduate and
postgraduate educational opportunities in clinical
veterinary medicine.
Our programs include The SummerVolunteer Program
and The Externship Program for veterinary students and
a one-year Internship Program forVeterinary School
graduates.
Externship Programs
Senior veterinary students are invited to participate in
the observation of clinics,medical and surgical rounds,
surgeries, special procedures, radiology, cardiac and
abdominal ultrasounds. Participants are urged to attend
the many lectures and special events sponsored by The
AMC's Department of Education.
Due to strict NewYork State license laws, participants
will not be allowed any hands-on training.You will,
however, be exposed to all aspects of the clinic and will
participate as a working member of the hospital.
Candidates must be a third or fourth year student in
good academic standing in an AVMA-accredited school
of Veterinary Medicine and be recommended by an
Extern Coordinator or Dean.There are additional
requirements for international candidates.
The program is conducted year-round except from
June 1 to July 20. Requests for specific rotation times
will be matched as closely as possible, however
assignments are made on a first-come, first serve basis.
Typically, students stay between two to four weeks.You
will be expected to be in the hospital five days of the
week,with each day lasting approximately 10-12 hours.
Housing is available for a small fee.A limited number of
studio apartments, located two blocks from the hospital,
are available for $20 per night. |

Summer Volunteer Program
The volunteer program is designed specifically for firstand
second-year veterinary students. Because of its size
and scope,The AMC has unique resources and is in a
position to provide clinical experience and observation
to students of veterinary medicine.
Many veterinary colleges require small animal clinical
experience as part of their programs.Therefore, a
formal program at The AMC is of great benefit to
students needing to comply with this qualification.
We provide the best experience possible for our
volunteers.Volunteers must commit to a minimum stay
of four weeks between July 1 and July 20. Services are
assigned in two-week blocks based upon student
preferences (when available). Students are expected to
make their own housing arrangements.
