Hi all! Does anyone have recommendations for externships where you can get good spay/neuter experience (especially HQHVSN)? I looked into the ASPCA spay/neuter alliance in Asheville but unfortunately all of the slots are filled up until I graduate in 2025. I am located in MA but willing to...

Hi! I am starting to set up my externships and besides the random networking and AIRBNB does anyone know of a page where vet students may post places to stay for 2 weeks at a time (with pay of course, but not as ridiculous as lets say a hotel)? Looking for houston, San Antonio, Las Vegas...

Which programs require CBSE? I only know OSU requires it. It’s seems like the majority of the programs don’t require it. Should I take the test? Or is it better to have a score even though the schools don’t require it? I want to avoid spending so much time, money, and efforts to take the test...

I attended my 1st neurological case conference, as a new NP extern in the neurological dept of a hospital.

Hey everyone, Quick question on OMFS externing. Does it look bad to some programs if you were to do all your externships in 1 city? Would the programs assume that, because you did all externships in city X that you will rank all the programs above theirs, causing them to not rank you as high...

Hey guys! D1 here and am seriously considering the OMFS route. 2 quick questions on the externship process: If there is a school/city I know I want to end up in, should I externship there closer to the application cycle? Or does it not matter when I do it. The reason I ask is because I plan on...

Some dental schools (i.g. UPenn and BU) have programs where you can go abroad. However, I was wondering if this is commonplace for dental schools or not. I checked one of the dental schools I'm interested in and they made no mention of international programs on their website. I've also heard of...
