Externship at the Atlantic Veterinary College

2 credits · Undergraduate

This course is an off-campus externship delivered by the Atlantic Veterinary College (AVC). During these 3 weeks (or minimum 100 clinical hours) students are on duty with technical staff for approximately one-half of their time at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital (VTH). Evening and night shifts are a large part of the AVC Externship. Day shifts allow some opportunity for the student to choose specific areas of interest. In addition, there are structured learning exercises. There is a significant livestock and equine component to the AVC Externship. Students attend this externship in two or more sections. Attendance is required at all scheduled duty shifts and exercises. CALENDAR NOTES: Winter semester, 2nd Year. Note: Cost of transportation to AVC and room and board in Charlottetown are the responsibility of the student. Staff of the Veterinary Technology Program will assist the student where possible, but the responsibility for living arrangements is the student’s. FORMATS: Other (explain in comments)
