SAHO Animal Hospital - Owasso
An externship experience at an NVA hospital will give students the unique opportunity to understand the day-to-day operations of the practice, and to gain valuable hands-on clinical experience. Although every NVA hospital is unique, we all have some things in common: an environment that is supportive, committed to excellent medicine, and provides exceptional service to animals and the people who love them. 
At SAHO we have 15 doctors with different practice experiences and levels of expertise. We have doctors with advanced training in ultrasound, surgery (especially orthopedics), dental, exotics, and more. We are a high-volume practice open 7 days a week. We have a wonderful culture focused on the individual growth of our team members & providing excellent patient care and an exceptional client experience. We have team members who are all willing to help and learn from each other. During your externship, you will work with doctors that will encourage your participation and questions to make the most of your learning experience.
Students will work closely with the supervising veterinarian to gain experience in gathering patient histories, performing physical exams, creation of treatment plans, diagnostics, dentistry services, observing/assisting or performing surgical procedures, and medical management of patients. In addition to practicing their clinical skills, student externs will have the opportunity to practice their communication skills with the medical team, support staff, and clients.  
Most externship experiences at SAHO Owasso Animal Hospitalrange from two to eight weeks depending on student and hospital schedules. All veterinary students (regardless of class year) are encouraged to participate in NVA externships.
 Veterinary students who are in the clinical portion of their education are eligible for a travel/living expense stipend. Click HERE to view list of stipend amounts and HERE for details on the stipend program.
