You may also see a variety of high school students working around the building. We participate with the On-the-Job Training (OJT) programs with our local high schools. The students come in the afternoon and help with the many tasks necessary to keep the clinic running smoothly. We certainly appreciate their help.

We also offer job shadowing, veterinary student internships and vet technician internships. (See Madison Area Technical College Vet Tech program.) If you are interested in the field of veterinary medicine, please contact us.
