Become an Extramural Studies (EMS) Provider

EMS is an amalgamation between a student's veterinary education and the wider veterinary profession.

Would you like to become a placement provider?

It is designed to shape students in a personal and professional manner, through the provision of the opportunity to gain valuable hands-on experience and to practice the clinical skills that are acquired during the BVSc course; in a range of ‘real workplace learning’ contexts. EMS also represents the beginning of a process of continuing professional development which will continue after graduation and throughout the student's career.  

The School of Veterinary Science welcomes any practice or business owners who are interested in offering placements to students.  

What you will gain from having an EMS student  

EMS placements are mutually beneficial. You get to have extra labour from a willing and capable student whilst they get to learn from you.  

In addition to your contribution to shaping a future vet, you will be forming a relationship with the University of Liverpool vet school.  

You can also apply for the teamwork module for the Practice Standards Scheme. 

If you are interested in becoming one of the Vet School’s EMS providers then please contact us at ems@liverpool.ac.uk
