About Interstate Veterinary Hospital Hospital!

Currently we are a growing 3 doctor practice utilizing multiple Certified Veterinary Technicians and veterinary assistants to care for our patients and serve our clients. We continue to evolve as the need for veterinary care changes and strive to serve our community with current veterinary science and medicine.

Heartland Veterinary Partners is proud to offer externship programs throughout the Midwest.

The veterinarians and staff at HVP practices feel a strong commitment to give back to the profession by contributing to the education of veterinary students.  We hope that HVP’s externship program will offer you the opportunity to observe a wide variety of cases, expose you to new procedures and protocols and provide you a chance to work with our experienced veterinarians and staff.  We are also happy to provide insight for you on issues related to business, practice management, and career placement as it interests you.

We do not prepare formal extern schedules, we assign externs based on the individual’s particular interest and desired location.  In other words, we work together to find you the perfect fit!
