Internship overview

The caseload is approximately 90% equine and the remaining 10% is composed of camelids, small ruminants, and cattle. Interns spend the largest portion of the year in large animal surgery and medicine, but also rotate through 2-3 blocks of the emergency/critical care service. There are also rounds and seminars in other departments that may be attended.

The interns are an integral part of each rotation and participate in many ways:

The diagnosis and treatment of cases on a daily basis under the supervision of faculty members.
Assist faculty in the instruction and supervision of veterinary students.
Present cases in rounds for students, interns, and residents.
Provide emergency care to patients on a rotating basis.

This program is suited to a wide range of recently graduated veterinarians interested in almost all aspects of general large animal or, more specifically, equine medicine and surgery. Veterinarians who have completed this internship have entered diverse fields; many have progressed into specialty practice, including surgery, medicine, pathology, and radiology, while others have elected to pursue general practice.
