Veterinary Externships & Volunteer Opportunities
Yuma Veterinary Clinic offers volunteers and veterinary student externs the opportunity to gain real, hands-on clinical experience in a busy, mixed-animal practice. Our volunteers and student externs are expected to be very hands-on and work as part of our team during their time with us — caring for everything from companion animals to equine, livestock, and exotics.

Veterinary students in their clinical year are given priority for externship scheduling. We strive to offer the chance to assist with case work-ups and treatment plans alongside our doctors, and because our clinic is so diverse and fast-paced, it’s a rich environment for veterinary and veterinary-technician students from across Arizona and the surrounding region to learn.
