DVM Mission Launch: Externship + New Graduate Opportunity

$1,000/Week Stipend | Open to the Class of 2027

This externship track is designed for students ready to launch their careers, offering an enhanced stipend of $1,000/week—double our standard rate—because this experience is tied to a hiring opportunity. The hospital has an open new-grad doctor position, and your externship here serves as a first step toward a full-time role. You’ll gain paid, hands-on experience while both you and the practice evaluate fit. There’s no obligation, but if it clicks, the path from extern to full-time doctor is short.
