Veterinary Externship
About the Veterinary Externship
The Greensboro Science Center offers a 2 or 4-week externship program in exotic medicine for vet students enrolled in and in good standing in their 4th year studying veterinary medicine. Student applicants should have a strong interest in exotic, zoological, aquarium, and/or conservation medicine. The GSC follows the NCSU Veterinary Medicine Calendar and will add blocks when that schedule becomes available. Proof of a negative tuberculin skin test within 6 months of the start date is required. Excellent work ethic, communication skills, and a positive team-oriented attitude are expected. Externs are responsible for finding their own housing and transportation for the duration of the externship. The externship is unpaid and comes with no promise of future employment.
Externships are in 2 or 4-week block rotations. Externs are scheduled Monday-Friday throughout their rotation with the expectation that they will be on-site all day. Daily start and end times may vary.
- Dr. Taylor Gregory – VP of Veterinary Health
- Sam Andreski – Hospital Manager and veterinary technician
- Mackenzi Polk – veterinary technician
