At Lisadell Equine Hospital, we welcome and encourage students who wish to visit us to see practice. We only take a maximum of two Veterinary Students at a time to ensure each student gains maximum experience during their stay.
What does an externship offer students?
Students are offered the opportunity to assist and observe in the everyday workings of the hospital including surgeries and lameness or other examinations.
Students will gain hands-on experience in many areas including Digital X-ray and Ultrasound, administering treatments and even assisting in surgery where appropriate.
Students will be supervised at all times and are expected to maintain strict confidentiality. We ask that you are willing and helpful in exchange for this experience and you may be asked to pitch in and help in all areas of the running of the practice.
You will also have opportunity to spend time with our ambulatory vets and gain valuable knowledge and insight into Equine practice in Ireland.
The nature of Equine practice means we have no set start and finish times and at busy times you may end up staying late! An externship is a great way to get to know us and learn more about our internships.
Places tend to fill up quickly, sometimes as far as one year in advance so make sure to get in touch early.
We unfortunately cannot offer accommodation for students, however we can recommend a number of options in the area.
