Job Shadowing & Externships

Did you know that MRAH encourages those who want to learn about veterinary medicine to come learn with us? From the elementary aged, to adult students in veterinary school, our doctors do what they can to help mold potential future veterinarians.

We welcome job-shadowers from elementary schools, high schools, trade schools, pre-vet college students, and veterinary students. With our help, these students are able to immerse themselves in the field, and help them to learn and decide if veterinary medicine is right for them. Throughout the year you may see a student tagging along with one of our doctors trying to learn as much as they can about the veterinary field.

Call our office today if you would like more information on our mentoring opportunities!

Pet Rescue & Pet Groups

We not only work with your pet but are proud to work with a few local pet service organizations as well as rescue groups.  We help in a variety of ways including helping provide medical care for needy pets and donations of goods or services for their charity events. We are proud to support these excellent pet organizations. Check them out; you may find your new best friend waiting for you at a couple of them!
