Internship Duties:
Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital is offering a 53 week in-hospital internship training opportunity with a primary focus on surgery (upper airway, gastrointestinal, orthopedic, urogenital), lameness, emergency medicine, internal medicine, and anesthesia. Interns can obtain more experience in specific areas of interest due to a tailored rotation schedule from January-May. There are multiple in-house hospital internship positions available for qualified applicants, with the goal of providing a strong foundation for application to a residency program or entering private practice.
The hospital staff at Rood & Riddle includes seven board-certified surgeons, five board-certified internists, one board-certified anesthesiologist, and consulting board-certified ophthalmologist. Other specialists in the practice include a board-certified equine dentist, three board-certified theriogenologists, and four podiatrists. The busy caseload and number of clinicians provide diverse mentorship and a unique internship experience not available elsewhere. After-hours emergency duty is shared between specialists, and interns provide assistant surgeon, anesthesia, and technical support after-hours. All treatments, including after-hours and holidays, are performed by technicians.
The imaging modalities in our hospital include: High-field MRI, standing and general anesthesia CT, nuclear scintigraphy, PET Scan, digital radiographs, and ultrasound. The images created are read by a board-certified surgeon or internist. Other specialty therapies and facilities include an on-site stem cell lab, IRAP, shockwave, and a neonatal intensive care until.
Outgoing interns and incoming interns are staggered to provide overlap and experience as the incoming class gets settled and trained.
