Veterinary Internship Details

As part of the veterinary curriculum, colleges emphasize the importance of off-campus educational experiences in practices beyond the teaching hospital. Gaining hands-on experience in a well-established, modern practice is a valuable addition to your veterinary education, equipping you with the skills needed to provide exceptional care after graduation.

Our program is committed to enhancing your practice readiness, ensuring you’re fully prepared to hit the ground running as a confident and capable veterinarian upon graduation.

OUR PROGRAM STRUCTURE

Our internships are highly competitive and typically range from two to eight weeks, depending on your college curriculum, with most lasting two to three weeks. Your schedule will include a mix of days, evenings, and weekends.

These internship rotations are designed to help students apply the problem-solving, technical, and communication skills they’ve developed during their clinical training, all under the supervision of experienced veterinarians. Interns have the opportunity to work closely with our veterinary team and are encouraged to actively participate in all aspects of patient care.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

Externs will experience the typical caseload of a small animal practice. Under the guidance of your mentor, you will take patient histories, perform physical exams, and develop diagnostic and treatment plans. You’ll have the opportunity to scrub into surgeries, assist with medical case management, provide wellness care, and refine both your client communication and technical skills. Additionally, you’ll gain experience in producing accurate medical records (SOAPs) within the time constraints of a busy practice.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

Intern students are expected to be active, enthusiastic participants in our patient care activities, always upholding the professional and ethical standards of our practice. Prior to beginning the internship, students are encouraged to review the Veterinary Practice Act to understand the scope of duties they may perform, and the level of veterinary supervision required. Adhering to these guidelines is essential to protect both yourself and our practice.

As a veterinary student intern, we expect you to dress and conduct yourself professionally, meeting the standards outlined in our employee handbook, which apply to all team members.

ABOUT US

As sponsors of the Veterinary Internship Program, we consider ourselves an integral part of your educational team, offering guidance, mentorship, and evaluation throughout your internship.

At the conclusion of the internship, your mentor will provide a comprehensive written evaluation of your performance, as required by your program.

We look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
