Maddie's Shelter Medicine Externship Program

This externship stipend award is designed for fourth-year clinical veterinary medicine students who participate in a shelter medicine program. The program provides financial support to students gaining practical experience in shelter medicine, which focuses on the healthcare and welfare of animals in shelter environments. The application process is managed through Dr. Laura Bartl and is advertised regularly within the Virginia Tech veterinary medicine community. This opportunity allows students to gain hands-on experience in shelter medicine while receiving financial support for their externship participation.
