Ocean State Equine is a 6-doctor practice in Rhode Island. We provide all general practice services including: wellness, dentistry, medicine, and a heavy lameness caseload. We are well equipped with DR, ultrasound, shockwave, PRP, IRAP, endoscope, and gastroscope. The practice serves a wide range of patients and clientele; we see everything from beloved backyard companions to competitive sport horses. We are predominately ambulatory now, but our facility includes an indoor arena, climate-controlled treatment areas, stocks, and stalls for in-house cases. Additionally, we will be adding a surgeon to the team this fall, with the goal of providing primarily elective procedures.
We have a close-knit, collaborative team invested in the success of our interns. We hold routine wet labs to develop clinical skills, as well as weekly journal club and imaging rounds. For the first 3 months of the internship, interns will be accompanied on all calls by a senior associate for hands-on mentorship. For the remainder of the internship, interns are on ambulatory call 50% of the time and do have a “back up” doctor available to assist them over the phone or in person as needed. During the regularly scheduled day, interns will ride with another doctor at the practice to participate in routine appointments. If needed, interns may also be asked to assist with daytime emergencies and may be assigned routine calls near the end of the year. Interns live on-site and are responsible for night check and morning TPRs. After-hours treatments will be performed on a rotating basis.
Interns are provided with a $40,000.00/yr. salary, free housing on-site, 100% of health insurance, compensation for RI/CT/MA veterinary licenses, DEA insurance, CE stipend and paid time to attend, 6 days paid and 6 days un-paid off, AAEP membership dues, Employee Benefit Program, long-term disability insurance, and 100% of the emergency fee for after-hours calls seen independently, and have 1 long weekend off per month and 1 week day off following weekends on-call.
Pre-requisites for application: DVM degree or equivalent, resume, letter of intent, veterinary school transcript, completion of National Board licensing by the end of the academic year, 3 letters of recommendation, eligibility to drive a motor vehicle. Externship is encouraged but not required.
Terms of Employment: flexible start date for 1 open position.
