Externship: Greensboro Science Center

Greensboro Science Center Veterinary Externship

Laci Taylor, DVM Candidate ‘22

Over winter break, I had the privilege of externing at the Greensboro Science Center

(GSC), an aquarium, museum, zoo, and treetop adventure park located in Greensboro, North

Carolina. Unfamiliar with Greensboro, I learned about the Greensboro Science Center’s

externship through a Zoom meeting organized by the American Association of Zoo Veterinarians

(AAZV). The meeting was open to veterinary students interested in zoo, wildlife, and aquatic

externships and several representatives from a variety of AZA accredited institutions joined the

call. The discussion was focused on how these institutions have had to adapt their veterinary

externship programs amidst the current pandemic.
