Neurology is AWESOME!

Neurology is AWESOME! Rocco has been seen by Dr. JP McCue several times over the last few months. Sadly he is very sick. Your entire staff has been professional, caring and attentive to both Rocco and I.

Externships

Veterinary Student Clinical Programs

THE AMC IS ONE OF THE WORLD’S LEADING VETERINARY TEACHING INSTITUTIONS

Our mission is to provide high-quality undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate educational opportunities in clinical veterinary medicine.

Our programs include an Externship Program for veterinary students, a one-year Internship Program for Veterinary School graduates and a Residency Program for graduates interested in specialty board certification.

Externship Program

The AMC’s externship experience offers a comprehensive exposure to a multi-disciplinary referral specialty hospital. Candidates must be third- or fourth-year veterinary students in good academic standing at an AVMA accredited school of Veterinary Medicine.

While New York State licensure laws do not permit students to administer treatments, there is an enormous amount of information to be gained by observation and exposure to our extensive caseload. Interaction with clinicians, interns, residents and technicians allow students to learn about hospital care policies and procedures. All are welcome to attend all lectures, journal clubs, book clubs, medical rounds and special seminars.

Externs also have the opportunity to observe specialists in Internal Medicine, Orthopedic and Soft Tissue Surgery, Critical Care (Emergency Medicine and Intensive Care), Cardiology, Ophthalmology, Oncology, Neurology and Radiology (including Interventional Radiology).

Externships are up to four weeks in duration. Limited housing is available for a nominal fee and must be reserved when scheduling an externship. You may download an externship application and a housing application, or for additional information please email continuing.education@amcny.org or call (212) 329-8614.
