About Akron Medina Veterinary Hospital!

Akron-Medina Veterinary Hospital and Pet Resort has served the greater Akron areas of Medina, Copley, and Fairlawn since 1965. We are an animal hospital in Medina that specializes in quality pet care where we take the time to get to know your pet and you a little more every time you visit. Our passion for pet care has led us to delve deeper and look at veterinary medicine with a wider view.

Heartland Veterinary Partners is proud to offer externship programs throughout the Midwest.

The veterinarians and staff at HVP practices feel a strong commitment to give back to the profession by contributing to the education of veterinary students.  We hope that HVP’s externship program will offer you the opportunity to observe a wide variety of cases, expose you to new procedures and protocols and provide you a chance to work with our experienced veterinarians and staff.  We are also happy to provide insight for you on issues related to business, practice management, and career placement as it interests you.

We do not prepare formal extern schedules, we assign externs based on the individual’s particular interest and desired location.  In other words, we work together to find you the perfect fit!
