This internship program provides one year of advanced clinical training in the medical diseases of the horse. Minimum qualifications include graduation from an accredited school of veterinary medicine. The selection of interns is made on the basis of academic achievement, career objectives, letters of recommendation, interpersonal skills, clinical skills and pertinent experience.

The intern in Equine Field Service is a participant in our practice, and under faculty supervision has clinical responsibility for cases assigned to the Equine field Service and other sections of the Large Animal Clinic including, but not limited to, Equine Internal Medicine, Equine Surgery and Lameness, and Equine Reproduction. Under the direction of the senior faculty of the Equine Field Service and appropriate clinical specialty units, the intern examines, conducts diagnostic procedures, and prescribes treatment for outpatients and for patients admitted to the Large Animal Clinic. The intern will participate in all phases of the operation of the Equine Field Service, which includes assisting faculty members in the clinical instruction of fourth-year veterinary students; and organizing and scheduling patients for daily programs of the Large Animal Clinic including the weekly Large Animal Grand Rounds. Interns share out-of-hours emergency duty with other house staff on a rotational basis and are on call approximately 1 night and 1 weekend out of every 2. Interns must be able to arrive at the Hospital within 15 minutes of an emergency call, therefore, interns must plan to live within 15 miles of the Hospital.

The intern works with several faculty members who are diplomates of several specialty colleges; ACVIM, ACVS, ACVT, ACVR, and ACVO. The internship program is designed to qualify the individual to enter an approved equine residency training program or to assume a position in a high quality equine private practice. Lectures are provided to develop clinical expertise, and there is an opportunity to participate in journal club. Participation in the Annual House Officer Seminar Day is optional.

• To develop practical clinical expertise in Equine Field Service, Medicine, Lameness and Surgery.
• To provide clinical teaching experience in equine medicine and surgery.
• To provide an opportunity for limited experience in the design and conduct of investigative projects in a clinically related area.

Justification
The Equine Field Service internship program provides intensive post-doctoral training in equine internal medicine and surgery with an emphasis on primary care. Upon completion of the internship the candidate will be qualified to apply for an equine residency program or a position as an associate in a high quality equine private practice.

The facilities and clinical case load of the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital provide an ideal environment for this internship program.

Interns must obtain a valid California driver’s license, and will be subject to the Employer Pull Notification program for monitoring driving records.

SPECIAL NOTE: The California Veterinary Medical Board requires all veterinarians working at the University of California, Davis with primary patient care duties to hold either a California license or a special University license. To obtain a University license, veterinarians that are not licensed in the state of California will be required to take  a short open-book jurisprudence test, in addition to being background checked.. The cost of licensure will be the responsibility of the trainee (currently $600). This limited license only permits individuals to work in California as veterinarians for University-related practice. Although veterinarians that do not have hands-on patient care duty (e.g., anatomic pathologists, clinical pathologists) are not required to hold this license, obtaining the license is encouraged whenever your activities may have an impact on animal-owning members of the public. If in doubt, please contact the Office of the CVMO for clarification.

About Mission Rabies:

Over 99% of human rabies cases are caused by an infected dog bite. Once symptoms of the disease develop, it is fatal.

Every year, millions of healthy dogs are inhumanely killed for fear of this deadly disease. However, this doesn't halt the spread of rabies, which causes the deaths of around 59,000 people a year – the majority of which are children under 15.

Mission Rabies is changing that.

Science shows that the most effective long-term rabies control strategy is through vaccination of dogs in endemic areas, so we head to rabies hotspots and run mass vaccination and education programmes - protecting both the human and canine populations.

Crucially, it's working. Human deaths in our key project sites have all but been eliminated and we'll keep going until it's zero all around the world.

Be a part of this life-saving mission!

Join us in Cambodia!

In May 2023 we are excited to return to Cambodia to expand on our pilot project, vaccinating the WHOLE PROVINCE of Phnom Penh (that's an estimated 100,000 dogs) in just 10 days! Over the course of the 2 weeks we will be providing life-saving protection to the 2.3 million residents who call the province home, working closely with dedicated local government and charity partners along with other volunteers from around the world. 

Based in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, you'll be working in teams going door-to-door, delivering canine rabies vaccinations. You will be exploring this amazing part of the world and will be trained to use our state-of-the-art WVS Data Collection App. All in a standard days work!

We welcome all volunteers to join this awesome project, whether professionally trained or not, you can play a crucial role in making a difference!

Paid Internship/Externship in veterinary Medicine

Put your Passion to Work!

Internships and externships are on-the-job training programs that give veterinary tech students

and pending DVM graduates the opportunity to shadow and work alongside professionals in the field. While they are both temporary in status, internships are paid and usually last for a semester or season.

Externships are shorter in duration—typically two to six weeks and are unpaid. Both programs offer students and near-graduates valuable real-world experience that’s vital to success in the veterinary field.

Yeah, I Love Animals—But Why Should I Consider A Career In Veterinary Medicine?

Plenty of jobs: There are exponentially more openings for veterinarians, veterinary technicians, and assistants than there are people qualified to fill them. Meanwhile, pet ownership and the demand for veterinary services is growing fast.

Plenty of opportunity: Veterinarians, technicians and assistants can work anywhere in the country and in a variety of animal health related fields: public health, livestock farms and facilities, in research, and at zoos and shelters.

Plenty of fulfillment: No doubt this can be a high-stress profession. But it is also very rewarding. For those who are considering a career in the veterinary industry, helping animals and making a difference in their communities are usually strong motivating factors for their choice. A career in veterinary medicine is the most effective, direct path to achieving those goals.

12 month Professional Internship Program for Graduate Veterinarians:

Montana Equine is seeking qualified applications for a one-year internship in equine internal medicine and surgery. We work hard to foster a balanced internship, with a mix of direct and indirect supervision, and our interns finish their year with a strong knowledge and clinical skills. Interns rotate through internal medicine, surgery and lameness services under the direct supervision of our senior veterinarians. As their skills increase, interns also see clinical cases, with all case-management decisions still being made under the guidance of our senior veterinarians. We also offer a balanced approach to the various facets of real-world practice: our interns are encouraged to develop not just their clinical skills, but also their ability to communicate effectively, since both skills are so critical in successful practice.

Qualifications:

Successful applicants are highly motivated, and interested in working as part of a team of talented equine veterinary professionals. They will hold a DVM/VMD or equivalent degree, or will anticipate completion of their degree prior to start-date in early Summer.

How to Apply

Montana Equine’s one-year professional internship program is open to senior veterinary students and other graduate veterinarians. Although a visit to the practice is not mandatory, it is strongly recommended.

We request the following materials:

1. A letter of intent, outlining the applicants goals and reasons for application to this program;
2. Curriculum Vitae;
3. Three Letters of Recommendation (at least two of which should be written by a veterinarian);
4. Transcripts from their Veterinary Program

Please contact Megan Triplett via email (megan@mtequine.com) or phone (406-285-0123)

We have identified specific skill areas and goals for interns. By the end of the 12-month internship, our graduating interns should be able to comfortably perform the following core components of equine practice:

Core Components

Surgery:

During their surgery rotations, the intern will assist with a variety of surgical procedures. Commonly performed procedures include orthopedic procedures (especially arthoscopic evaluation and treatment), airway surgeries and soft-tissue procedures (especially colic surgery). This exposure is expected to help establish basic surgical decision-making and technical skills. Following their internship, most interns will be competent to perform routine procedures and will have obtained the essential training for entry into a surgical residency.

Internal Medicine:

During their internal medicine rotations, the intern will assist with most advanced internal medicine procedures. Commonly performed procedures include abdominal and thoracic ultrasound, ultrasound-guided biopsies, management of equine metabolic syndrome and Cushing’s disease, as well as respiratory evaluation and treatment. Following their internship, most interns will be competent to perform routine procedures and will have obtained the essential training for entry into an internal medicine residency.

Routine lameness:

Interns are given the opportunity to participate in routine lameness exams and treatments.  We anticipate that they will become comfortable with most routinely performed evaluations and diagnostic procedures, especially including nerve and joint blocks, as well as diagnostic radiology and ultrasound.

Routine Reproductive Care:

Evaluation of breeding soundness, including rectal palpation, ultrasonography and artificial insemination.  Interns will also assist in management of problem mares, freezing semen and embryo transfers.

Obtain and Interpret Radiographs:

Interns obtain radiographs of all core anatomic regions, especially including axial skeletal studies (musculoskeletal), but also special exams such as cranial/dental/sinus studies, cervical spine, thoracic and abdominal exams.  They will become experience offering  evaluation and interpretation of routinely performed studies.

Performing Ultrasound Examinations:

The intern will assist in performing advanced exams, such as complete abdominal and thoracic scans, ultrasound-guided biopsies, transabdominal fetal ultrasound, advanced musculoskeletal exams and echocardiograms.

Perform Endoscopy:

Interns assist with endoscopy and treatment of the upper airway and guttural pouches, and lower respiratory tract.  They also perform endoscopy of gastrointestinal structures, including esophageal and gastroscopic evaluation and treatment.

Performing Routine Dental Treatments:

Interns will become proficient at evaluation and treatment of common dental procedures, including floating, as well as other routine work such as removal of deciduous caps, wolf tooth extraction, etc.  Interns will regularly assist in advanced dental procedures, such as sinus lavage, periodontal treatments and standing cheek-tooth extractions.

Routine and Emergency Field Service:

We see a wide variety of cases on field service and in-house emergency.  Interns will become comfortable with this type of work by the end of their internship. Cases include basic preventative medicine such as vaccination and de-worming, routine surgeries like castrations and caslicks, and emergencies, especially lacerations and medical colic.

Anesthesia:

Interns will perform injectable and inhalant anesthesia for routine and critical care cases. They will be trained in the use and evaluation of blood gas analysis, constant rate infusions and other advanced techniques.

Professional & Personal Development:

As an active member of the local and regional equine community, we anticipate that each intern will contribute by presenting a talk or writing an article in the local press.  Interns are also exposed to many aspects of veterinary practice management.   There are opportunities to dig deeper into aspects of management, including marketing and outreach, establishing financial benchmarks, enhancing profitability, and other areas.

We encourage each professional veterinary student to identify and pursue other interests, veterinary-related and otherwise during .

3. Communicate with clarity and respect

Founded in 1987 our practice has always focused on providing a comprehensive and progressive care to all athletes and recreational horses. Quality care requires excellent intra-office communication and excellent client communication. Whether it is by stall side rounds, staff huddles, or doctor coffee meetings our goal is to always be transparent on our direction and goals. By treating each other well, we are able to provide excellent outcomes.

4. Cause a positive influence

Stretching from College Station into downtown Houston the practice area covers a large population of training centers, as well as, individual farms, scattered across several small towns. Caseload is diverse, > 18,000 visits/year and continues to grow after 30 years of business in the area.  We are a busy and varied practice that encompasses most breeds and disciplines. Conveniently located in the Brazos Valley we are at a crossroads for most of the Equine traffic in the state going to shows and racetracks.  Our business has grown because of our focus to help people and create positive outcomes for clients. We stay involved in the community by supporting various charitable causes, youth events, and local horse shows.

Responsibilities         

We promise to provide you with personalized mentorship, case volume, patient variety, and hands-on experience.  In return, we ask our interns to have a positive attitude and to work hard.  We are a full service, equine referral hospital located in the heart of Texas between Houston, Austin, and Dallas.  Last year we treated 8,000+ patients covering nearly every equine North American discipline and dozens of breeds.

The amount of supervision will depend on the intern's experience and may vary as the year progresses. The intern is expected to develop skills to allow handling of in-house appointments and emergency cases under direct or indirect supervision, as well as, ambulatory calls without supervision. Primary duties include daily treatments and examinations of hospitalized patients, assisting staff veterinarians in lameness exams, surgeries, dentistry, reproduction, and neonatal care. Night duties consist of intensive care monitoring, assisting night technicians with complicated treatments, and assisting with emergencies. Interns will split emergency and night duties. An expected breakdown of your time includes management of inpatients 30%, outpatient exam 30%, ambulatory calls 20%, surgery 10%, and anesthesia 5%.

The Health of our Team:

The rotating internship at NVS is difficult and the interns will be expected to work hard, however, we recognize the importance of quality of life and the work/life balance. To foster this, we arrange monthly social gatherings for our interns outside of work.  NVS enjoys other events and incentives to help morale including an annual Wellness Week in January featuring chair massages, prize drawings and various health and wellness lectures. We also have cupcakes once a month to celebrate employees’ birthdays and other treats like various food trucks.

Giving back to our community is also important to us. NVS participates in various (optional) volunteer activities throughout the year. Some examples of organizations we volunteer with include the Second Harvest Food Bank, Cumberland River Compact and Room in the Inn.

In addition to creating a cohesive and healthy work environment, NVS is committed to sustainable environmental practices. NVS has a comprehensive recycling and composting program as well as a 5,000-gallon rainwater collection system, roof mounted photovoltaic solar panel system, skylights, and an energy recover system for heating and air. 

Finally, Nashville is located in middle Tennessee and is home to approximately 680,000 people.

The Department of Clinical Sciences and the Veterinary Teaching Hospital at Colorado State University offer a 6 –12-month Equine Specialty Internship with an emphasis on Equine Medicine and Neurology at the James L. Voss Veterinary Teaching Hospital.

The internship is designed to provide clinical experience in many aspects of equine practice through the Equine Medicine service as well as an opportunity for research experience through ongoing projects pertaining to equine neurology. Elective rotations through equine emergency and critical care, equine surgery, equine ambulatory, anesthesia, radiology, and livestock medicine can be arranged depending on the intern’s interest. The successful candidate will assist the existing faculty with clinical duty throughout the internship period and will be expected to participate in the clinical teaching of veterinary students. After hours emergency duty will be expected and will be shared with the existing equine medicine and surgery house officers. Primary case responsibility will be expected once the intern and faculty are comfortable. The equine hospital sees a wide variety of different types of cases with approximately 2200-2500 horses seen yearly in the hospital.  

In accordance with college policy, residents and interns are not permitted to practice veterinary medicine in private/specialty veterinary practices in Colorado during the course of their program.

The Internship at Ocean State Veterinary Specialists

The internship at Ocean State Veterinary Specialists participates in the annual VIRMP match program. However, there are positions available for graduates who are graduating in the fall or winter, and able to start their program in October or February. This is a unique opportunity for these students, as other internship programs typically start in July.

The Facility:

     Ocean State Veterinary Specialists is a 24-hour hospital providing emergency and specialty referral services to the state of Rhode Island as well as parts of Massachusetts and Connecticut. The hospital is approximately 26,000sf, including three surgery suites with advanced equipment for both soft tissue and orthopedic surgeries including laparoscopy equipment. Endoscopy equipment includes a digital video monitor. Radiology equipment includes digital radiography and high resolution ultrasound machine, a CT scanner, Fluoroscopy, and full time, on-site MRI. The fully-equipped intensive care unit includes oxygen cages, mechanical ventilator, telemetric electrocardiography, defibrillator, pulse oximetry, and blood pressure monitors. In house diagnostic equipment includes blood gas and electrolyte monitors, and CBC, chemistry and coagulation analyzers. Advanced therapeutics are available including an extensive blood bank, and radioactive iodine therapy.

The Staff:

     The staff includes specialists in internal medicine, surgery, radiology, oncology, neurology, emergency/critical care, cardiology, ophthalmology, and avian/exotic medicine. There are four criticalists, and approximately twenty full-time, internship trained and experienced emergency doctors, who are a vital source of support for the interns, especially on nights and weekends. There are also residents in Emergency/Critical Care and Surgery.  

     The support staff includes highly trained technicians, many of whom are CVTs, and several also have specialty certifications. The ICU technicians are capable of placing central lines, performing advanced patient monitoring, trouble-shooting ventilator cases, etc.

The Internship:

    The 12 1/2 month internship has an emphasis on emergency medicine and critical care. The intern will spend approximately 60% of his/her time on emergency or inpatient shifts. During these shifts the intern will have access to specialists and experienced emergency doctors for consultation. Extensive daily case rounds ensure that the intern has the opportunity to learn from each case he/she sees as well as cases being managed by other doctors. The intern will also spend time on surgery, internal medicine, and elective rotations with the other specialties. In addition to case rounds, there are weekly didactic rounds for the interns presented by the various specialists. The intern is expected to participate in the teaching of technicians and visiting student externs. The internship is designed to expose the participant to the various specialties, allowing the intern to develop a special interest to pursue in a residency, but also providing a broad education in high quality medicine and surgery which will be valuable in any type of future practice. Previous interns have routinely expressed that they felt very well prepared for the jobs they went into because of their OSVS experience. The internship is designed to prepare doctors for residency, emergency work, and higher quality private practices.

East Greenwich is in the middle of the state of Rhode Island on the west shore of Narragansett Bay. It is close to scenic Newport and coastal beaches, and approximately one hour from Boston.

For further information please contact Dr. Justine Johnson at jjohnson@osvs.net. 

The Details:

-Schedule: The interns have a rotating schedule, with each rotation including medicine, surgery, elective rotations and emergency weeks.  Elective rotations can include Ophthalmology, Radiology, Oncology, Neurology, Avian/Exotics and Cardiology. On elective weeks, the intern works 4 days with the specialists, and one weekend day of ER. When on emergency weeks, the intern may be on a primary receiving shift and seeing emergency cases, or may be on an inpatient shift working with hospitalized patients that were admitted through the emergency service. The interns do work overnight shifts as part of the emergency rotations, but they are paired with an experienced emergency doctor. The overnight responsibility varies depending on the number of interns, but on average is 7 overnights every 8 weeks.  One week of each rotation may be spent at our sister hospital in Swansea, MA. This provides a different emergency experience, but also with significant mentoring.

     The interns work 5 days a week, with a guaranteed 2 days off each week. The interns work most weekends – with an average of one full weekend and 3 half weekends off per 8 week period. On days off, the intern has no clinical responsibility, and need only come in if there is a pre-planned didactic event. The interns get two weeks of vacation, but must work two of the major holidays (i.e. Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Years) and most of the minor holidays.

     The intern must be prepared to be in the hospital from 12 to 15 hours a day when on emergency weeks (10 hour shift plus paperwork time). This typically gets better through the year as interns become more efficient.  Pets cannot come to the hospital during normal shifts, so necessary arrangements should be made for them.

-Primary Case Management Responsibility: Interns are expected to function as doctors from the first day after orientation. They are the primary doctor on their cases, and handle all of the client communications, medical record keeping, etc. They are able to seek advice and support from numerous sources, but ultimately the decisions on their cases are theirs. Students anticipating applying for this internship should take full advantage of their clinical year of veterinary school to “practice” being a doctor so they are ready.

-Skills: The typical intern will have had the opportunity to gain most of the skills needed to be able to practice general medicine or emergency medicine, and have a strong foundation to prepare them to be residents in any discipline. Skills that will definitely be mastered include: patient stabilization, CPR, thoracentesis, abdominocentesis, AFAST/TFAST, wound management, tracheal wash, bone marrow aspirate/biopsy, basic soft tissue surgeries, and much more.

-Compensation/Benefits: OSVS provides one of the most generous compensation packages available for interns. The salary is $60,000 a year, with ample opportunity to pick up extra shifts for additional compensation. Health insurance is completely paid for by the hospital, as are all state licensing and DEA fees, state VMA membership, and liability insurance. Interns also get two weeks of paid vacation.

Wisconsin Equine Clinic and Hospital is offering up to three, year-long, rotating internships for June 2022-July 2023. 

The internship program at WECH is designed to provide graduate veterinarians knowledge and experience that will prepare them for clinical practice or a residency program. The Wisconsin Equine Clinic offers hospital (including surgery, internal medicine, reproductive and emergency medicine) and ambulatory experiences with special emphasis on providing each intern with mentors in every area of veterinary medicine. The hospital is staffed with technicians 24/7. 

Interns rotate between hospital and ambulatory services. Interns are responsible for management of in- hospital cases, anesthesia for emergency cases, participation in ambulatory cases and emergency duty. The interns assume increasing case management, client communication, and solo ambulatory responsibilities throughout the year. After the initial training period, interns are encouraged to "customize" their experiences to achieve their long-term career goals. 

In addition to a competitive intern salary, benefits include contribution towards loan repayment, liability coverage, association dues and licensing fees, a contribution towards a health insurance plan, and a stipend to attend CE opportunities. Interns will also share regular scheduled time-off throughout the year. 

We strongly encourage prospective interns to do an externship at our clinic to determine if it would be a good fit for both parties. However, an externship is not required. We are happy to conduct a phone or virtual interview in lieu of an in-person visit.

To apply, we require three letters of reference and a letter of application/intent from the applicant with CV. Applicants must graduate from an AVMA accredited program, acquire a valid Wisconsin veterinary license by the start date of employment, and have a valid driver's license.

The Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine seeks highly motivated veterinarians interested in expanding their equine knowledge and skill base under the tutelage of experienced, approachable mentors.

We are offering a 1-year Equine Field Service internship.

Our Equine Field Service program provides primary care to approximately 4,000 horses annually in the area surrounding scenic Blacksburg, VA. The service has four fully equipped ambulatory vehicles and provides routine and comprehensive state of the art diagnostic and therapeutic services including digital radiography, ultrasonography, endoscopy, shockwave therapy, IRAP and PRP.

The senior clinicians within the EFS group are board certified in internal medicine (ACVIM), and sports medicine and rehabilitation (ACVSMR). Additionally, some clinicians also provide chiropractic and acupuncture services. We perform preventive health care, reproductive services, sports medicine services, performance horse evaluations, neurologic examinations and sick horse care to a wide range of clients/patients. The caseload is varied and includes horses used for eventing, dressage, jumping, western performance, trail, endurance and breeding.

The intern is part of the team providing daily and emergency care to local clients and is responsible for case care, emergency duty, clinic rounds, medical records and presenting seminars each semester. Interested candidates are encouraged to visit the College.

Please contact Dr. Sharon Witonsky (phone: 540-231-9042 or email: swiitonsk@vt.edu  for additional information.

Virginia Tech has a strong commitment to the principle of Diversity and thus seeks a broad spectrum of candidates including women, minorities and people with disabilities.

My name is Liz Thompson and I am a surgeon at Charlotte Animal Referral and Emergency in Charlotte, NC. 

I am reaching out because we had an unfortunate scenario in which the person who accepted our position for surgical internship for the upcoming year has changed their mind on pursuing specialty surgery and decided not to sign the contract.  We were made aware about a week after he accepted, so any other interested candidates had already chosen other programs at that point. 

I thought I would just put the word out that we are still in search of a surgical intern and it could either be someone hoping to gain skills (and a research project as we have a couple options) to then enter into the match for residency the following year OR it could be someone interested in moving forward as a cutting ER doctor who wants to gain more surgical experience. 

We still require that they have completed a rotating internship. 

 If you know of anyone, I would very much appreciate you sharing my contact info with them (ethompson@carecharlotte.com).

Vacation: 2 weeks of vacation, non-accumulative.

Deadline for Applications

April 21st 2022, or until position filled

The intended program dates are July 15th 2022- July 14th 2025

The large animal internal medicine program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison aims to develop residents for a variety of careers for which ACVIM-LA board certification might be appropriate. Of the last 6 residents in our program 4 are currently in academic faculty positions and 2 are in private practice; our caseload is approximately 70% equine, and 30% food animal.

A cross section of different equine breeds are seen from Miniature horses to Draft breeds, but with a predominance of Quarter horses, Sport and Pleasure horses. The majority of the food animal caseload is comprised of very high genetic merit dairy cattle, both neonatal and adults of both sexes.

The caseload comprises a high number of emergency admissions and critical care inpatients across species, thus is suited to candidates with an interest in large animal critical care. The in-patient equine and food animal case load is further supported by a large animal surgery section comprised of 5 faculty and 3 house officers and the School of Veterinary Medicine enjoys excellent relationships with the dairy industry throughout the state of Wisconsin, most notably through the School’s Food Animal Production Medicine (FAPM) Section and Wisconsin State Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory (WVDL), the latter being located on the same footprint as the Veterinary School. There are two further board-certified large animal internists who are also involved in resident training located within the FAPM and WVDL. The program is designed to fulfill the requirements for board certification by the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine.  

The 36-month program can be approximately subdivided as follows: 

1) 24 months of clinical large animal internal medicine residency training; clinical training during this time is under the direct supervision of LA-ACVIM boarded faculty and involves case management of referral level patients within the large animal internal medicine section of the large animal hospital. As part of the training program, the resident will be expected to provide emergency care for animals during non-business hours on a rotating basis with other house officers. As the resident progresses in experience and expertise, increasing responsibility will be granted in the areas of patient management and veterinary student teaching. The resident will have considerable input into the clinical teaching program and will be provided opportunities for classroom and laboratory teaching. 

2) Across the 3 years, a total of 11 months will be made available, free of daytime clinical duties, for other activities. These activities include but are not limited to, formulation of a resident research project, writing of manuscripts, and preparation for ACVIM examinations (typically a minimum of 5 weeks of off-clinic time in each of the second and third year of the program). 

The resident is assigned a faculty mentor and collectively the resident and mentor will formulate a plan appropriate to the career goals and aspirations of the individual that also meets the credentialing pre-requisites of an approved ACVIM large animal internal medicine residency program. Portions of this 11 months are also used to meet LA-ACVIM credentialling requirements either within UW-Veterinary Care or outside the institution for clinical and anatomic pathology and advanced diagnostic imaging. 

Additional Information

The UW-Madison campus and the surrounding area have many enriching opportunities, Madison has been named the most bike-friendly city and the Dane County Farmer's Market is one of the largest in the nation; Madison has the most restaurants per capita of any U.S. city; Madison consistently ranks as a top community in which to live, work, and play; and the University is nationally recognized for academics, research, and athletics.

Hope all is well! I was wondering if there would be a way to inform your students on Bond Vet's new mentorship program, MADE?

Bond Vet today announced it is launching MADE, a proprietary mentorship program for new veterinary graduates. MADE — Mentorship, Advancement, Development, & Education — is a fully-paid, 16-week program to help new graduates transition from a background of theoretical knowledge to a best-in class application of their medicine in the real world across a variety of cases. At a time when there’s a shortage of veterinarians and an increase in pet ownership, it’s more critical than ever to create opportunities for growth and longevity for veterinarians.

MADE is designed to be an alternative to the classic internship program done in a referral hospital, where doctors rotate through specialties. Interns typically earn ~$30k for a 60-80 hour week, resulting in burnout and fatigue at the very beginning of what should be an exciting career. Veterinary medicine faces undeniable challenges such as burnout, compassion fatigue, and staffing shortages and there are limited options for new grads, most of which have traditionally entailed low-paying specialty rotations or a new job lacking structured, positive onboarding.

Approximately 85% of the LA Medicine Intern's time will be spent with the large animal medicine service. However, the LA Medicine Intern will have the ability to consult with specialists from a large number of ancillary services. 

Two LA medicine faculty are typically on clinic duty per week. The LA medicine service is thus divided into two faculty/resident or LA medicine intern/ rotating intern teams. The LA medicine intern will be responsible for the management of cases admitted to the hospital.  Within the service team concept, the LA Medicine Intern is given increased responsibility as he/she/they progresses through the program. The goal for the LA Medicine Intern is to function at a first-year resident level early in their appointment. The LA Medicine Intern will play a role in the clinical training of final-year veterinary students & will participate in daily case rounds, weekly journal club(s), weekly Grand Rounds, & an Intern rounds presentation. The LA Medicine Intern will take part in the DVSc (resident/graduate student) pool equally sharing out-of-hours emergency duty across both the medicine & surgery services (with faculty supervision) on a rotating basis.

Interns are allotted working days for elective time (up to 15 days) and for vacation (10 days). Elective time may be used for internal electives, continuing education or job interviews. The successful candidate is also encouraged to engage in research activities/projects during their internship.  Scheduling of electives and vacation must be approved by the Large Animal Clinic Head, the Large Animal Medicine Service Chief and their faculty advisor.

Rotating Small Animal Medicine and Surgery Internship

Our program link is here: https://www.virmp.org/Program/Detail/13311

Strengths of our program:

1. Large number of specialists in virtually all disciplines of specialty veterinary medicine, who are readily available to interns, are very approachable, and are dedicated their profession, and to teaching interns. Interns work very closely with all specialists on a daily basis from the first day of the program. In addition, our specialists come from a wide range of backgrounds, and have contacts in many locations/ facilities and universities throughout the country, and the world.
2. State of the art equipment
3. Highly skilled technical staff.
4. Very cohesive group who sincerely like each other, and enjoy working together; this tends to create a fun, friendly working environment
5. Interns receive hands on training in advanced procedures and techniques, including ultrasound (AFAST/TFAST), pericardiocentesis (with and without u/s guidance), pleural and abdominal taps, joint taps, bone marrow aspirates, percutaneous needle biopsies, feeding tube placement (esophagostomy, nasogastric), sampling and double lumen intravenous catheter placement. Interns are also exposed to laparoscopy, and all types of endoscopy.
6. Very high case load, interns receive direct guidance from specialists, residents and intern-trained ER doctors, but also have some degree of autonomy in admitting cases, developing diagnostic and treatment plans, and client communications for basic walk in ER cases, and have exposure to a very wide variety of complicated referral cases.
7. Digital radiology allows for review of radiographs (by radiologists or other specialists) even when they are not in the hospital. We have 2 board certified radiologists on staff that does bimonthly rounds with the interns, and are available M-F for consults at any time. Additionally we utilize a radiology service to allow twenty-four hour radiology review for overnight cases if needed.
8. We have a very good track record in placing interns in residencies, and our former interns enter their residencies very well prepared for any chosen programs.

Other things to note:

1. Long hours, and a lot of hard work. However, interns get two days off in a row every week/every 7 day period. Interns are given a reasonable amount of flexibility in their schedules to allow travel for CE, residency interviews and vacations at times selected by the intern.
2. We do not have in house avian/ exotics specialist, and do not see exotic pets at our hospital. However we have a close relationship with the San Diego Zoo or Safari park, and interns with interest in zoo medicine are usually able to set up an out-rotation there (Zoo schedule permitting). 
3. There is not an organized program for interns to receive primary surgical experience. However, the surgical experience our interns receive is very thorough. Interns are expected to scrub in on elective and emergency surgical cases, are involved in the management of a large number of a wide variety of surgical cases (soft tissue, orthopedic, neurologic, ophthalmologic), and working one on one with the surgeons. As the year progressed, interns may be able to perform approaches and closure as experience, case, and the primary surgeon allows. There is no spay and neuter program; however interns have the option to rotate with the San Diego Humane Society where they receive a large amount of primary surgical experience (spays and neuters, other routine elective surgeries possible). Interns must have CA permanent license* to work at outside locations. We feel very strongly that the surgical training our interns receive is exceptional, and that they develop a very strong foundation in all aspects of surgery.
4. We do not have a GP program, and do not see routine/wellness cases. We have very close relationships with nearby GPs and interns could arrange an out-rotation if desired. Interns must have CA permanent license* to work at outside locations.

Mentorship

At the beginning of the year, we match up interns with specialists who will act as that intern’s mentor. Mentors are able to help interns with residency applications, and with advice on how to choose a specialty and residency, and how to maximize your chances of obtaining a residency. Mentors are also a source of support if the intern is having difficulties or going through a challenging experience. Additionally, we are all very approachable. All of us are interested in the success of our interns. We are available to help you with potential publication ideas. A retrospective study or case report is doable within the year’s time constraints for motivated and exceptional interns who use their time efficiently. Prospective studies are more difficult. If you have an idea, talk to us!

What are we looking for in an intern candidate?

The main quality we are looking for in an intern is the desire to be here, and an eagerness to learn. We want someone who is a hard worker, and who understands that they can get out of a program only what they put into it. Interns should have a positive attitude, get along with others, and truly enjoy our profession. A sense of humor can be a big attribute! Professionalism and the ability to interact appropriately with clients, referring veterinarians, other House Officers, specialists and staff is important. Dedication and attitude can go a long way- a deficiency in one’s technical experience or knowledge base can always be improved upon with hard work, perseverance, and a good attitude.

What research opportunities are there for interns?

The internship is primary a clinical year. There are no specific research projects that interns will be involved in. For self-driven interns, it is possible, and there is support from senior clinicians to complete a case report or case series. This must be done on your own time.

Licensure:

To practice veterinary medicine in California, a current California state license is required. Please see the California Veterinary Medical Board as soon as you learn that you have matched with our program, in order to get the ball rolling for your license. (There are often significant delays which can create scheduling challenges).   Their website is https://www.vmb.ca.gov/.

Housing:

Please contact our current interns for details. We have not had any interns have too much difficulty finding reasonable housing near our hospital.  As is typical for any rental property in most cities, there may be some difficulty finding rentals that allow large breed dogs.

Want to experience a small animal and exotics veterinary hospital IRL? 

Want to be mentored by experienced veterinarians with diverse backgrounds? 

Want to learn in an environment that fosters forward thinking, team work, and quality realistic medicine? 

Want to eat some really good Mexican food? 

Well, look no further than TLC Animal Hospital!

What makes us so special?  We constantly strive to practice the “golden rule.”  In a nutshell, our leadership and management are constantly working to ensure we are the type of business we ourselves would want work in as team members, as well the type of hospital we would want to take our pets as clients. 

For the more elaborate explanation: -We believe in practicing quality medicine and advocating for our patients’ physical and emotional well-being. -We believe in providing clients with a quality experience. -We believe in having a quality of life concern for our staff and fostering a healthy workplace culture.

So what does this mean for a veterinary intern? -It means you can practice medicine you can be proud of.  It means you have access to mentorship and support from Dr. Dashley, Dr. Lara and Dr. Reyes. 

When time allows, we endeavor to have interns practice procedures such as e-tube placement, spays/neuters, enucleations, declaws, skin closures, tail amputations, and tooth extractions on cadavers.  We help you work up cases and practice client communication and physical exams. -It means you can get a ton of experience and education, while still having time to enjoy the local cuisine and culture of El Paso.  We are truly a gem of the southwest, with lots of food, shopping, outdoor activities, and recreation. 

We are also within driving distance of the forests of Cloudcroft and Ruidoso, the unique vistas of White Sands, and the caverns of Carlsbad. -It means that you can earn a bit of cash to help with those pesky student loans.  Veterinary student externs are paid $1000 per week, with included hotel and travel expenses. -It means flexibility.  Just want to practice on dogs and cats and never touch a bird again?  That’s okay.  If you are interested in small exotics (sorry, no Ostriches), Dr. Dashley and Dr. Reyes are more than happy to help you out. 

Not interested in orthopedics?  Not everyone is a bone carpenter, so we understand ;) -It means you have access to a brand-spanking-new, beautiful, fully-loaded veterinary hospital.  7 exam rooms, 2 surgery tables in a dedicated surgical suite, 2 dental tables in a dedicated dental suite, 5 treatment tables, genuine isolation room, separate dog and cat waiting, separate dog and cat kennel areas, digital white board, digital radiography (including horizontal beam), ultrasound and echocardiography, digital dental radiographs, electro- and radiocautery, surgical laser, cold laser, HotDog patient warming systems, full anesthesia monitoring (including EtCO2),  and in house lab machines (chem, CBC, coag, urinalysis, and IDEXX snap tests).

Sorry, no crystal ball or magic wand, but here’s to hoping! Future plans for the practice include pursuing AAHA accreditation, incorporating CT and endoscopy, expanding our exotics services to include rabbit and rodent dentistry, and adding more wonderful associate veterinarians to our growing TLC family.  Padawan externs may very well be offered an associate position as a full fledged veterinarian Jedi upon graduation and licensure!

BluePearl Pittsburgh (PVSEC) is seeking to add another full time ER doctor to a staff of talented ER doctors supported by seven specialists in critical care, plus specialists in surgery, internal medicine, medical and radiation oncology, ophthalmology, neurology, radiology, dermatology, anesthesia and cardiology.  

The 35,000-square-foot facility opened in 2008 PVSEC and has a long standing reputation of providing excellent emergency and referral care to the Pittsburgh and surrounding tristate area.   Pittsburgh Veterinary Specialty & Emergency Center North (PVSEC North), a BluePearl Veterinary Partners hospital in Pittsburgh, PA, is located in the North Hills of Pittsburgh and is the most comprehensive multi-specialty and referral hospital in Western Pennsylvania.   We have a house officer program consisting of rotating interns, emergency and critical care residents, and surgical interns and residents, which leads to a very collegial and team approach to patient care.

It’s a fast-paced environment with growth and advancement opportunities, which not only promotes outstanding patient care but also learning and growing with training programs through BluePearl University and BluePearl Science. PVSEC also partners with Penn Foster for associates to continue their Veterinary Technician education and licensing, as well as an onsite veterinary social worker to support our associates and clients.

Services such as a blood bank, comprehensive in-house laboratory with commercial level equipment and on-site social workers also support our hospital teams, clients and patients. The ER doctor will spend most of their shifts working in the North Hills hospital but could occasionally cover the South hills shifts as well.   This can also be flexible and negotiable.

 Pittsburgh, tucked away in the Allegheny Mountains of southwestern Pennsylvania, is a mid-sized metropolis that has been ranked one of the most livable cities in the U.S. It is a small city of ethnic neighborhoods, scenic hills, trees, rivers and farmland, and offers world-class fine arts, museums, and educational institutions.

12 month Professional Internship Program for Graduate Veterinarians:

Montana Equine is seeking qualified applications for a one-year internship in equine internal medicine and surgery. We work hard to foster a balanced internship, with a mix of direct and indirect supervision, and our interns finish their year with a strong knowledge and clinical skills. Interns rotate through internal medicine, surgery and lameness services under the direct supervision of our senior veterinarians. As their skills increase, interns also see clinical cases, with all case-management decisions still being made under the guidance of our senior veterinarians. We also offer a balanced approach to the various facets of real-world practice: our interns are encouraged to develop not just their clinical skills, but also their ability to communicate effectively, since both skills are so critical in successful practice.

Qualifications

Successful applicants are highly motivated, and interested in working as part of a team of talented equine veterinary professionals. They will hold a DVM/VMD or equivalent degree, or will anticipate completion of their degree prior to start-date. Start date ideally late spring/early summer (traditional spring semester graduation), with alternative start dates available to be discussed pending timeline from graduation from veterinary program.

Application

Montana Equine's one-year professional internship program is open to senior veterinary students and other graduate veterinarians. Although a visit to the practice is not mandatory, it is strongly recommended.

We request the following materials:

1. A letter of intent, outlining the applicant's goals and reasons for application to this program;
2. Curriculum Vitae;
3. Three Letters of Recommendation (at least two of which should be written by a veterinarian);
4. Transcripts from their Veterinary Program

Please contact Megan Triplett via email (megan@mtequine.com) or phone (406-285-0123)

Logistics

Compensation: 

Intern compensation package for 2023 includes $36,500 base salary with $2000 completion bonus, 80% of emergency fees when solely seeing emergency cases (no senior clinician receiving), and a dynamic benefits package including medical, professional liability, retirement, CE and membership budget, and student loan support.

Schedule:

We typically have 3 interns per year, rotating on a 3 week schedule with two weeks of day clinical rotations, and one week of overnight care. A majority of overnight treatments are performed by support staff, with a nightly barn check and some treatments performed by the overnight intern. On call responsibilities include an average of 1.3 weeknights and 1 weekend per month of primary, 1.3 weeknights and 1 weekend per month of secondary/anesthesia, and 1 full weekend per month with no call responsibilities.

Experiences from past interns:

Program Core Components

We have identified specific skill areas and goals for interns. By the end of the 12-month internship, our graduating interns should be able to comfortably perform the following core components of equine practice:

Surgery:

During their surgery rotations, the intern will assist with a variety of surgical procedures. Commonly performed procedures include orthopedic (especially arthoscopic evaluation and treatment), upper airway, and soft-tissue procedures (especially colic surgery). This exposure is expected to establish basic surgical decision-making and technical skills. Following their internship, most interns will be competent to perform routine, general practice level, procedures and will have obtained the essential training for entry into a surgical residency.

Internal Medicine:

During their internal medicine rotations, the intern will assist with advanced internal medicine procedures and manage complex internal medicine cases. Commonly performed procedures include abdominal and thoracic ultrasound, ultrasound-guided biopsies, echocardiography, gastroscopy, and upper airway endoscopy. Regularly seen cases include diagnosis and treatment of metabolic/endocrine, respiratory, cardiac, gastrointestinal, and neonatal disease. Following their internship, most interns will be competent in performing routine procedures and will have obtained the essential training for entry into an internal medicine residency.

Routine lameness:

Interns are given the opportunity to participate in routine lameness exams and treatments.  We anticipate that they will become comfortable with most routinely performed evaluations and diagnostic procedures, especially including nerve and joint blocks, as well as diagnostic radiology and ultrasound.

Routine Reproductive Care:

Interns will be active in routine reproductive care breeding soundness, transrectal palpation, ultrasonography and artificial insemination.  Interns will also assist in management of problem mares, freezing semen and embryo transfers.

Obtain and Interpret Radiographs:

Interns obtain radiographs of all core anatomic regions, especially including axial skeletal studies (musculoskeletal), but also special exams such as cranial/dental/sinus studies, cervical spine, thoracic and abdominal exams.  They will become experienced in offering evaluation and interpretation of routinely performed studies.

Performing Ultrasound Examinations:

The intern will assist in performing advanced exams, such as complete abdominal and thoracic scans, ultrasound-guided biopsies/injections, transabdominal fetal ultrasound, advanced musculoskeletal exams and echocardiograms.

Perform Endoscopy:

Interns assist with endoscopy and treatment of the upper airway and guttural pouches, and lower respiratory tract.  They also perform endoscopy of gastrointestinal structures, including esophageal and gastroscopic evaluation and treatment.

Performing Routine Dental Treatments:

Interns will become proficient at evaluation and treatment of common dental procedures, including floating, as well as other routine work such as removal of deciduous caps, wolf tooth extraction, etc.  Interns will regularly assist in advanced dental procedures, such as sinus lavage, periodontal treatments and standing cheek-tooth extractions.

Routine and Emergency Field Service:

We see a wide variety of cases on field service and in-house emergency.  Interns will become comfortable with this type of work by the end of their internship. Cases include basic preventative medicine such as vaccination and de-worming, routine surgeries like castrations and Caslick's, and emergencies, especially lacerations and medical colic treatment.

Anesthesia:

Interns will perform injectable and inhalant anesthesia for routine and critical care cases. They will be trained in the use and evaluation of blood gas analysis, constant rate infusions and other advanced techniques.

Professional & Personal Development:

As an active member of the local and regional equine community, we anticipate that each intern will contribute by presenting a talk or writing an article in the local press. (maybe cut this sentence?)  Interns are also exposed to many aspects of veterinary practice management. There are opportunities to dig deeper into aspects of management, including marketing and outreach, establishing financial benchmarks, enhancing profitability, and other areas. We encourage each intern to pursue their interests, veterinary-related and otherwise during their time with us, identifying and communicating their goals to the team.
