    Veterinary student job program

    Start your veterinary career with a hospital that believes in the same level of care that you do. Work alongside an experienced veterinary team, learning from them and growing in your confidence. Then, with the help of your coach, you’ll pursue personal learning objectives and work toward long-term goals.

    The Experience

    You’ll work under a Banfield doctor, a coach who will guide you through real-world challenges. That includes learning to perform physical exams, provide proper care, use diagnostic tools, and learn surgical preparation and monitoring.

    Guidelines

    Participants must be a first- through third-year veterinary student enrolled in an accredited Doctor of Veterinary Medicine program and authorized to work in the United States.
    The program lasts 6 to 10 weeks during the summer, with a flexible schedule of 32 to 40 hours per week, including evenings and weekends. Students studying Companion Animal Medicine are preferred.
