Fairfield Equine Externships are available to senior veterinary students with a strong interest in equine practice. Students must be planning a career in private practice in the performance horse industry.
Interested students must be senior veterinary students in their clinical year of study at veterinary school. The externship lasts 2-4 weeks and is generally offered during the months of April through November.
