Why VetMatch
Everything you need to build your
extern program

Stop sifting through cold emails. VetMatch brings qualified, motivated students directly to your practice listings.

Targeted Student Pool
Every student on VetMatch is either enrolled in a veterinary professional program or an undergraduate pre-vet student working toward it. No irrelevant applications — just the right candidates for your externship, internship, shadowing slot, short-term role, or full-time position.
Post in Minutes
Create a detailed listing for an externship, internship, shadowing opportunity, or job in under 5 minutes. Set your specialty, stipend, duration, and year requirements — and go live immediately.
Built-in Application Manager
Review applications, read cover notes, download resumes, and update statuses — all from one clean dashboard. No spreadsheets, no external tools, no email threads.
Automated Notifications
Students are notified at every stage — interview request, offer, or not selected. Accepted students receive your offer details, start date, and clinic contact info automatically.
Offer & Onboarding Tools
Send formal offers with start dates and welcome notes. Students can accept or decline directly from their dashboard — no back-and-forth emails required.
Resume & Interest Matching
See each applicant's school, year, interests, and resume at a glance. Set filters on your listing so only the most relevant students see and apply to your role.
Simple process
Up and running in four steps

No training required. Most practices receive their first application within 48 hours of posting.

1
Create Your Clinic Profile
Add your practice name, location, specialties, and a short bio. A strong profile helps students choose your listing with confidence.
2
Post a Listing
Describe the opportunity, set the dates and year requirement, and optionally add a stipend. Your listing goes live immediately.
3
Review & Interview
See every application in your dashboard — name, school, year, interests, resume, and cover note. Move promising candidates to Interview before committing.
4
Confirm the Placement
Send an offer with a start date and welcome message. The student gets notified, confirms directly, and contact details are exchanged automatically.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to pay to post my first listing?
No. The Starter plan is completely free and includes one active posting with full applicant management. You only need to upgrade if you want to post multiple roles simultaneously or access premium features like featured listings.
What information can I see about applicants?
You can see each applicant's full name, veterinary school, current year, declared interests (small animal, equine, exotic, etc.), uploaded resume or CV, and their optional cover note. Phone number and email are revealed once you send an offer and the student confirms.
How does the offer and acceptance process work?
When you're ready to accept a student, you select "Accepted" in their application row and optionally add a start date and welcome message. VetMatch sends the student an email notification with your offer details and clinic contact information. The student can then accept or decline directly from their dashboard. You'll receive an email either way, and if they confirm, their contact details are automatically shared with you.
Can I manage multiple supervisors on one account?
Yes. On the Practice plan, you can add up to 5 supervisors to your clinic account. Each supervisor can be listed on your clinic profile so students know who they'll be working with. Enterprise plans support unlimited team members.
What happens to applications if I close a posting?
Closing or archiving a posting removes it from the public listing but preserves all application history. You can still access applicant records, resumes, and notes for past postings at any time from your dashboard.
Is there a contract or minimum commitment?
No contract, no minimum term. Paid plans are billed monthly and you can cancel anytime. The Practice plan also includes a 14-day free trial so you can experience the full feature set before committing.
What kinds of practices use VetMatch?
VetMatch supports practices across all veterinary specialties — small animal general practice, emergency and critical care, equine, large animal, exotic and zoo medicine, oncology, surgery, and more. Both independent practices and large multi-location groups use the platform.
