Brown Equine Hospital is seeking a second well qualified applicant for a one year rotating hospital internship.  Brown Equine Hospital is a referral hospital with one boarded surgeon, one boarded internist, and 24 hour technical staff.  The caseload is varied and includes a variety of medical, surgical, lameness, and emergency cases in western and English performance horses, pleasure horses, Draft horses, and Standardbred racehorses. This internship prepares veterinarians to move forward with their career in any aspect of equine veterinary practice, as demonstrated by previous interns obtaining residencies in equine surgery or dentistry or becoming successful general or sports medicine focused practitioners. Hands-on learning (including ample opportunities to “scrub in”), a busy caseload, and daily stall side case rounds allows the motivated intern to rapidly advance in all aspects of equine practice. 

Brown Equine Hospital is located in Somerset, Pennsylvania, a small town nestled in the Laurel Highlands, a region known for its beauty and outdoor recreation opportunities. Applicants should send a letter of intent and resume with three reference names to the attention of Dr. Jacob Swink, at jswink@brownequinehospital.com.  Questions about the internship program should be sent to the same address. Contact information for previous interns can be supplied upon request.
