Michigan Humane offers a paid Summer Job Program for current students who are looking to gain essential hands-on veterinary experience, while making a difference in the lives of animals and people within our communities. Applicants should be currently enrolled in a veterinary, pre-veterinary, or veterinary nursing/technical program. The program is approximately three months long, lasting from June through August. Some flexibility may be offered to accommodate semester start and end times. We have opportunities at our facilities in Rochester Hills, Westland and Detroit, MI.
Our program affords students the opportunity to gain hands-on experience building essential technical skills that align with their interests, which may include the following -
Safe animal handling
Physical Exams
Blood Draws
Surgical Prep
Anesthesia Monitoring
Laboratory Skills
Community Outreach
Farm Animal Care
Participants will also gain exposure to a variety of clinical and shelter medicine topics, such as infectious disease control, neonatal care, surgery and animal behavior. Students will also receive individual mentorship with regular guidance to develop goals and monitor professional development throughout the summer. If this sounds like a great opportunity to you, we'd encourage you to apply and spend your summer with us!
