Additional Information:
Philosophy of Internship: To provide mentorship in an educational environment, and to gain experience and knowledge necessary to be successful in a residency position or in a progressive equine private practice. All interns will receive direct and indirect supervision based upon their experience and specialties. Our interns are here to be trained to become highly skilled equine veterinarians; this is our number one responsibility and guiding philosophy for the internship. Our interns go on to surgery and medicine residency or enter high-end private practices with multiple competitive job offers.
Case Load: The equine hospital has one the larger academic medicine centers caseload in the United States. Equine ambulatory saw over 2,000 cases last year which included preventive health care and sports medicine and lameness. The Equine Medicine department saw 1,300 cases last year. Equine Soft tissue and orthopedic surgery saw a combined 1,200 cases last year.
Internship Duties: Primary case care under the direct supervision of senior clinical faculty and residents. The intern will rotate on equine internal medicine, equine emergency and critical care, equine orthopedic surgery, and equine soft tissue surgery. It is the philosophy of faculty at Ohio State is that interns be given primary care responsibilities. The intern rotating in the hospital will be assigned emergency duty depending on the level of their level of performance.
The intern will receive hands-on training and experience in equine field surgeries, portable digital radiography & ultrasound, endoscopy (both 1 & 3 meter), power float, and lameness locator. The intern will also be practicing joint injections, CFS taps, and nerve blocks on day one. Practicing these skills and other advanced skills under supervision for an entire year has allowed our intern graduates to become very successful equine practitioners. The ambulatory emergency duty will be directly supervised for the first 3-4 months of the internship by senior faculty until the intern is confident and capable of handling primary calls with the senior faculty member as backup.
The interns are welcome and encouraged to participate in the medicine/ECC/ambulatory and surgery journal club. Interns could be asked to assist faculty in the teaching of second and third-year veterinary student laboratories. Interns are required to audit the resident medicine and surgery resident graduate courses and seminars. The intent of these courses is to prepare residents for specialty board exams, e.g. internal medicine, surgery, dentistry, and theriogenology, an overarching purpose is to provide a comprehensive framework on how to successfully critique cutting-edge published literature for any high-level equine practitioner regardless of specialty interest
Health and Wellness Support
The internship program fosters and promotes an environment that supports the professional, physical, psychological, and social well-being of interns. Basic and essential components include safe and clean workspaces and access to mental health and crisis support.
Examples of activities supporting health and wellness include:
Scholarly Activity Is supported if the intern expresses interest in participation. These projects could be benchtop, retrospective studies, clinical hypothesis-driven, or case reports.
Evaluations We believe it is very important to give formal feedback along with in-the-moment feedback. Reviews will be given at 1, 4, 8, and 12 months. We use a competence-based tool to assess growth both in clinical skills and clinical reasoning.
