The philosophy of our internship is to provide a well-rounded experience in primary-care equine private practice and to enable our intern to develop more advanced skills in the management of complex problems, radiology, ultrasonography and client communication. Case diversity will enable the motivated intern to gain advanced skills that will benefit many future career paths. Upon completion of our internship, one should have a solid foundation in primary care, medicine, sports medicine and surgery that will prepare them for a career in equine private practice or for advancement into a residency program.
