Internships
We offer three rotating internships yearly. The internships start the first week of July and finish the following year at the end of June. The interns rotate between surgery and ambulatory services. In the hospital, the interns will see greater than 1200 elective surgical cases. Approximately 80% these cases are orthopedic (arthroscopy, fracture fixation) with the other 20% being soft tissue (upper airway, urogenital). On our ambulatory service interns will have significant exposure to lameness, sales work, reproduction and general farm healthcare.
Our goal is to provide interns with a solid foundation to support their future career. Whether their goal is a residency or private practice, we feel that our practice provides ample opportunity and exposure to develop the skills necessary to be successful in either endeavor.
We recommend intern candidates visit our practice prior to applying, however, a visit is not required. For more information regarding our internship, please visit the AAEP avenues website at http://www.aaep.org/avenues.php. If you are interested in visiting or applying please contact Dr. Caitlin Roberts at cmrvmd06@yahoo.com
Externships
We routinely have externs visit our hospital throughout the year. Our only requirements are that the extern be a veterinary student and come with a willingness to learn and work. Externs can spend time in the hospital or on ambulatory or a combination of both. Generally, this schedule is worked out once they arrive depending on the extern’s interest.
Housing for externs will be provided on a limited basis.
