Final year Ontario Veterinary College student veterinarians begin their clinical year with an eight-week externship where they have an opportunity to practice their skills in a real world setting as part of a veterinary team providing animal care to the public. Dr. Morganna Turner, OVC DVM 2022, completed her externship in the summer of 2021 at the Paris Veterinary Clinic in Paris, Ontario.

The transition from third to fourth year marks a significant milestone for student veterinarians at the University of Guelph’s Ontario Veterinary College (OVC) as they move from lectures and labs into a year of intensive clinical training.  

Deciding to go into a particular career field can be challenging, especially if you see few people who look like you. A first-time collaboration in spring 2022 between the Ontario Veterinary College and Veterinary Professionals Instilling Black Excellence (VIBE) aimed to support and encourage Black students to learn more about veterinary medicine education and see themselves in the field.
