In a recent episode of dvm360's The Vet Blast Podcast, Christina Moore, DVM, MBA, Sr. Director of Doctor Recruiting & Mentorship at Thrive, discussed the importance of externships for veterinary students, particularly during the current veterinary shortage.

Externships provide students with valuable hands-on experience and the opportunity to work alongside experienced veterinarians, allowing students to gain practical skills and knowledge that they might not otherwise get in a classroom setting. Externships are also a great way for students to evaluate if they want to jump-start their veterinary career at Thrive.

In addition to providing valuable experience for students, externships can also benefit veterinary clinics and hospitals by giving them access to a pool of potential new talent. As Dr. Moore notes, externships can be a great way for clinics to evaluate students and identify candidates who would be a good fit for their team.

If you're a veterinary student or a clinic looking to host externs, be sure to check out the full episode of The Vet Blast Podcast for more insights and advice.
