Lakefield’s family of hospitals welcomes student externships and preceptorships, which provide hands-on training, mentorship, and management skill development for both students and recent graduates. Lakefield’s core values of Learning, Respect, Fun, WOW Service, and “Do the Right Thing” foster our unique family culture, creating a great learning environment. Our partnership with World Vets and giving-back mindset further demonstrate our practice philosophy.
We believe veterinary practices are as unique as the pets they serve, but the best have one thing in common, they are a labor of love. We share your passion for veterinary medicine and are grateful for the opportunity to work with you!
Lakefield externships give veterinary students the opportunity to apply their knowledge in real clinical settings. From diagnostics and surgery to client communication, you’ll work alongside experienced doctors who are invested in your growth. With hospitals across the country, we offer flexible placements in general practice, urgent care, specialty, and emergency medicine.
