Internships and Residencies

An internship is the first step in specialty training leading to board certification. Following an internship, a residency application may be submitted for further study in a particular discipline such as internal medicine, ophthalmology or surgery. Many laboratory animal medicine programs waive the internship requirement. This permits a graduate to enter directly into a residency program following graduation. Completion of a residency program is a pre-qualification for specialty board certification. Residency programs are generally three years in length.

An internship can provide additional development of clinical skills and case management acumen. It can offer further responsibility while still under the mentorship of faculty and residents of the school or college, or specialists in private practice.  

Information on the application process and deadlines may be found by visiting the Veterinary Internship & Residency Matching Program website. Applications are due in December; please check the web site for specific date and application requirements.

Internship (posted 01/07/2019)
Where: Ocean State Veterinary Specialists
Website:   https://www.osvs.net
Location: East Greenwich, RI
Internship Description: 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. 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 high 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 [email protected]. Schedule: The interns rotate through an 8 week schedule, spending a week each in medicine, surgery, two weeks of elective time, and 4 weeks on varying emergency rotations. 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 a mainly inpatient management shift working with patients that presented to 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 interns work 5 days a week, with a guaranteed 2 days off a week. These two days are not always together, and there is only one full weekend off 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 Year) and most of the minor holidays.

Position: Internships and Externships (posted 3/08/2019)
Where: Animal Care Centers
Website: https://www.animalcarecenters.net/
 Location: Cincinnati, OH
 Internship Description: Are you headed for small animal private practice? Do you think you could use a little mentoring? Would you like to make a living at the same time? We offer internship pay that is close to what you may expect to make your first year as an associate. Do you want to be in a great work environment with low drama? Are you looking for a practice who has developed a culture of training and mentorship? How would you like to speed up the learning process? Instead of learning “when you get the opportunity/time/chance/a slow day, when I have time, etc.” How would you like to be able to confidently and independently run your own foreign body or ACL surgery surgical cases within 12 months? If so, you've found the right spot for you. All of these things can be achieved within 9-12 months with us! We have opportunities for 4-6 students, or recent graduates, to participate in either our internship program or for a year externship rotations. We have the longest running, structured, most successful small animal general practice mentorship program in the country. We are a very busy, multi-location practice in the suburbs of Cincinnati, OH who have created an environment and culture of training and mentorship. We are comprised of 12+ associates who truly love to teach students and new graduates. It takes 2 things to master your craft – no matter what it is. It takes great instruction as well as the opportunity to practice your craft enough until it is mastered. If you don’t get good instruction but have lots of practice, it’s possible that you are making the same mistakes repeatedly. If you get great instruction but little practice, you’re newly taught skills will deteriorate. This is why our mentorship program has proven to be so successful: we have a team of experienced mentors that love to teach and coach and a caseload that surpasses many veterinary schools. Our mentorship program is structured so you know what skills you have been exposed to, what skills you can do with help, and then what skills you have mastered. Our goal is for you to obtain mastery of your veterinary skills. Our mentoring is amazing – see what our previous doctors have said. There are many testimonials on our website. You will be given the opportunity to manage your own cases (with help, if needed, of course) and perform every surgery in which excellent general practitioners should be expected to be competent. You will be given the skills to command top dollar at your next position (or with us) because you will be experienced and competent... and way ahead of your peers. And, there is no obligation or expectation that you stay beyond your year – although many have opted to do so because our business is made up of great people and management who love what they do. We have an amazing staff. Check us out by visiting our website Animalcarecenters.net. Housing (possibly FREE) available! Space is limited. You can contact me at [email protected] or at (513) 257-5923

Interns have the opportunity for both primary case responsibility and direct supervision from our specialists in a supportive and collaborative atmosphere. Intern rotations are approximately 45% emergency and critical care, 45% specially services, and 10% general practice with two elective rotations. Interns participate in daily patient rounds with the specialists in a case-based learning atmosphere. A weekly lecture series from the specialists provides the main part of didactic training, in addition to monthly journal club.  Interns will present grand rounds to the specialists and referring veterinarians. Interns also have the opportunity to work on manuscript preparation, if they desire, with the assistance from their mentor. VCA GLVS provides an active mentorship program. The mentor/mentee meet regularly to participate in goal setting, self-assessment and clinician evaluations. We are seeking intern candidates who possess strong communication skills, are enthusiastic, highly motivated and compassionate, and who desire to obtain a broad experience in small animal medical practice. We have had two Ross graduates complete our internship program as well as graduates from other schools and we have been amazed by their knowledge level, work ethic and commitment to practicing the highest quality medicine.
