Performance Equine Vets is accepting applications for a one-year equine internship. Interns will rotate through different services including: medicine, surgery, reproduction, ambulatory, and ICU/emergency coverage. The position will offer new graduates a strong foundation for continued work in private practice or application to a residency program. The position would also offer an excellent opportunity for increased experience and responsibility for those applicants completing a second internship. Duties will include all aspects of equine practice including farm calls, outpatient diagnostics, surgical assistance, and daily care of in-house patients. After-hours ambulatory emergency duty is shared with other veterinarians. On average, each intern will enjoy 1 night off per week and 2 weekends off per month. Technician support is available after hours and on weekends for the hospital and ambulatory calls.
