Veterinary training is multifaceted, and while medicine is crucial, practical experience shapes a well-rounded veterinarian. An externship at Frisco Emergency Pet Care offers an unparalleled opportunity to gain invaluable knowledge and skills from a team of dedicated and passionate doctors. We are committed to fostering a learning environment where students are encouraged to actively participate and grow, exceeding the typical observational roles often found in academic settings.
Hands-On Veterinary Experience That Goes Beyond the Classroom
Forget passively watching surgeries from afar. At Frisco Emergency Pet Care, you’ll be directly involved. Our externs actively assist in surgical procedures, gaining firsthand experience alongside our experienced veterinarians. Beyond surgery, you’ll develop proficiency in essential diagnostic techniques, including performing ultrasounds, assisting with endoscopy procedures, and interpreting complex 3D CT scans and radiographs. This immersive approach ensures you gain practical skills that are immediately applicable in a fast-paced emergency veterinary environment.
Technology and Culture: Cornerstones of Modern Veterinary Practice
Veterinary practice extends beyond medical expertise. We believe in equipping our externs with a holistic understanding of modern veterinary care. At Frisco Emergency Pet Care, we explore and discuss how technology can revolutionize practice efficiency and enhance the quality of care provided to our patients. We encourage open dialogue, valuing fresh perspectives and a willingness to learn from each other. Furthermore, we emphasize the critical role of a positive practice culture in mitigating burnout and fostering a supportive and thriving professional environment.
Your Externship: A Mutual Exploration
Consider your externship at Frisco Emergency Pet Care as a two-week immersive interview, for both you and us. While we evaluate your academic understanding and clinical skills – fulfilling our obligations to your veterinary school – we are equally focused on assessing your integration into our practice culture. We seek individuals who are not only academically strong but also embody the values of teamwork, compassion, and dedication that define Frisco Emergency Pet Care.
Simultaneously, this externship provides you with a unique opportunity to evaluate us. Immerse yourself in our daily operations, observe our approach to emergency veterinary medicine, and determine if Frisco Emergency Pet Care aligns with your career aspirations. While interacting with our veterinarians is valuable, we encourage you to connect with our entire team – technicians, client service representatives (CSRs), management, and social workers. Understanding the perspectives of every team member will provide a comprehensive view of the rewarding and dynamic work environment at FEPC.
