Our hospital is fully equipped with surgical and medical procedures and MRI. The hospital is located in a beautiful area of southern California close to beaches and hiking. We have a full technical staff  to manage most patient treatments and assist training interns for anesthesia. Our staff is friendly and we all work together as a team to provide excellent patient management and care.   We welcome the interns as veterinarians, colleagues and new sources of new information.  Our interns participate in daily exams, procedures, surgeries and emergencies. As our interns gain confidence,they will do ranch calls and emergencies independently, once they are licensed in CA. We strive for our interns to develop strong procedural skills and evaluations in all areas of equine medicine, surgery and sports medicine. We are busy with colic and elective surgeries, sports medicine case evaluation with MRI on site, an active internal medicine and reproduction case load.  The interns are guaranteed to solidify their diagnostic and therapeutic plans, and gain confidence in case management. We also encourage them to communicate effectively and compassionately with clients, to stimulate an interest in pursuing a rewarding career in equine veterinary medicine, to practice effective teamwork with colleagues, technical and clerical staff, to understand the business aspect of veterinary medicine and to learn to balance the demands of their career with their personal life.  Weekly radiology rounds also provide an academic aspect that is very valuable in learning and case research/management.  See our Facebook page, Instagram or website and contact us for more information.

The intern candidate should have excellent horsemanship skills, great communication skills and a positive team oriented outlook. A degree in veterinary medicine is required and passage of the NAVLE is preferred. We will consider applicants from a non US accredited school if the applicant is eligible for E3 or H1B visas  and it can be obtained in a timely manner.
