medicine internship position available beginning June 12, 2023. The
position will have an equine lameness emphasis, and will be
particularly suitable for individuals wishing to prepare for
admission to a surgery, sports medicine or ABVP residency. The
intern will have the opportunity to gain experience in lameness,
surgery, rehabilitation, and imaging. The intern will rotate
through specialty rotations related to sports medicine and may also
choose elective rotation(s) based upon personal goals, clinical
coverage needs and advisor approval. The successful intern will
work under the supervision of board-certified faculty members and
will be responsible for:
1) Participating in the daily activities of the equine lameness and
emergency services of the hospital; this includes surgical cases on
food and fiber species (particularly camelids, dairy cattle and
small ruminants).
2) Assisting in the instruction and supervision of senior
veterinary students on clinical service.
3) Assisting in the instruction and supervision of veterinary
students in laboratory courses.
4) Interns and residents share after-hours emergency care for the
large animal hospital. The intern will have approximately 50%
on-call duty and will always have resident and senior clinician
backup. Staff members are available for consultations and
assistance. Large Animal interns are expected to be available by
pager and to live close to the Veterinary Medical Center.
