Columbia Pike Animal Hospital and Emergency Center is a large, busy, privately owned and operated GP/ER practice located in Annandale, Virginia. We see wellness and sick appointments as well as urgent cares and true emergencies. We have had a successful internship and externship program for 8+ years and love teaching. Our hospital has many diagnostic capabilities including a full in house lab, digital radiography, Ultrasound, CT, digital cytology, and endoscopy. We also perform both routine surgeries (spay, neuter, COHAT, mass removal etc) and urgent surgeries (foreign body, hemoabdomen, GDV etc). We generally have between 3-9 hospitalized patients at any given time. We welcome externs at any point during veterinary school and provide a $250/week travel stipend as well as free housing (
