Testimonials from our previous externs
Marshall S. - Midwestern University
I did a month-long externship at Horizon Animal Hospital and it was amazing! The doctors there are very knowledgeable, compassionate, and patient. They make opportunities for you to learn new things and practice important skills. If you ask, they are more than willing to allow you to do things like surgeries and will guide you while you do them. Their facility is well kept and easy to work in. The front staff and technicians were friendly and competent. They were also willing to help in any way that they could. Overall, it was a great experience and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a safe environment to learn in while having fun.

I had a great experience during my two-week externship at the clinic. Dr. Penn was very intentional about teaching and included me in each exam room, walking me through his approach while always leaving room for questions. I was able to perform physical exams, gain hands-on experience in the OR, and participate in patient care throughout the two weeks.
Dr. Penn was extremely supportive and would often ask me questions that encouraged me to think through my clinical reasoning. The entire team was welcoming, and I felt comfortable being involved and learning. I would highly recommend this externship to students looking for hands-on experience and supportive mentorship.
