Welcome to episode #30 of Scrubbed In: The DVM Journey – the podcast where we dive into the wild, rewarding, and sometimes unpredictable world of becoming a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine.
In this episode, I sit down with veterinary student Eric Marker to break down everything you need to know about veterinary externships, including how to find them, how to choose the right ones, and how to actually make the most of the experience. Eric shares his firsthand experience completing multiple externships and walks through how he narrowed down his options, from word-of-mouth recommendations to school resources and personal career goals. We also cover the logistics of setting up externships, including reaching out to clinics and planning ahead during an already busy veterinary school schedule. Most importantly, Eric offers practical advice on how to show up, get involved, build relationships, and leave a lasting impression during your time on externship.
Whether you’re just starting to explore externships or trying to refine your plans for clinical year, this episode provides a clear, realistic guide to making these experiences both meaningful and worthwhile.
