Externships range from 2-4 weeks depending on specialty, schedules, and student prior experience. 

An externship experience at an Ethos hospital gives students real-life clinical experience in a single or multi-specialty hospital, and the opportunity to apply their knowledge and skills while working alongside experienced clinicians, board-certified specialists, current interns, and residents. Hands-on skills that may be practiced or observed include TPR’s, examinations, anesthesia, surgical procedures, catheterization, ultrasound, and other diagnostic procedures as they are available.    
Most externship experiences range from two to eight weeks depending on student and hospital schedules. Externships at SAGE Redwood City are only offered to students in their final year of veterinary school.
