The Externship portion of this course is designed to expose students to the daily activities that may be encountered in a veterinary practice, animal research facility, or other allied animal health facility.  A minimum of 120 hours of participation in a position relating to the veterinary technology field in a faculty-approved facility is required.

Required attendance of at least 8 hours of Continuing Education, 4 hours participation in Open House and 2 hours in a "public service" activity is included to emphasize the importance of these events to maintain technical skills and promote the role of Veterinary Technicians in the veterinary medical field.  These activities will also encourage the students to communicate in a professional setting with graduate technicians, potential employers, and the public.
