DVM Students Overview

Application Request for Practice Approval

Third and fourth year students at the UF College of Veterinary Medicine may elect to participate in externships. These externships must be between two and four weeks in length. Supervising veterinarians will complete an evaluation form assessing the performance of the student at the end of the externship.

In order to serve as an externship site for University of Florida DVM students, each practice/site must complete the form below. The submitted information will be sent to the curriculum committee for approval. Once a site has been approved, students may elect to participate in externships at that site, and the site will be listed in our database.

Please fill out the form as completely as possible in order to provide the most accurate information for our curriculum committee and our students.
