About the Externship
We are a small practice that has a loyal client following and has been established in the community for many years. The work is interesting as we see exotic animals and have a very experienced staff to learn from. Our MDVM loves to teach and is a good mentor, and she works with the zoo in South Bend and is part of the community here in Plymouth. We can offer a good environment for hands‑on learning and provide valuable experience to any extern. We have a great culture and aspire to treat our clients’ pets the way we treat our own pets.
