Hi all! Does anyone have recommendations for externships where you can get good spay/neuter experience (especially HQHVSN)? I looked into the ASPCA spay/neuter alliance in Asheville but unfortunately all of the slots are filled up until I graduate in 2025. I am located in MA but willing to...

Hi! I am starting to set up my externships and besides the random networking and AIRBNB does anyone know of a page where vet students may post places to stay for 2 weeks at a time (with pay of course, but not as ridiculous as lets say a hotel)? Looking for houston, San Antonio, Las Vegas...

Which programs require CBSE? I only know OSU requires it. It’s seems like the majority of the programs don’t require it. Should I take the test? Or is it better to have a score even though the schools don’t require it? I want to avoid spending so much time, money, and efforts to take the test...

Hey everyone, Quick question on OMFS externing. Does it look bad to some programs if you were to do all your externships in 1 city? Would the programs assume that, because you did all externships in city X that you will rank all the programs above theirs, causing them to not rank you as high...

Hey guys! D1 here and am seriously considering the OMFS route. 2 quick questions on the externship process: If there is a school/city I know I want to end up in, should I externship there closer to the application cycle? Or does it not matter when I do it. The reason I ask is because I plan on...

Some dental schools (i.g. UPenn and BU) have programs where you can go abroad. However, I was wondering if this is commonplace for dental schools or not. I checked one of the dental schools I'm interested in and they made no mention of international programs on their website. I've also heard of...
