Internships

The Surgi-Care Center for Horses offers an internship position to two graduate veterinarians each year. The internship program is designed to provide preparation for residency training or high quality private equine practice. Interns are responsible for daily care of hospitalized patients and work under the supervision of senior veterinarians in the diagnosis and treatment of horses admitted to the hospital or seen as outpatients. The detailed job description for the internship is contained in the “Avenues” section of the American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) website at www.aaep.org. Veterinary students who are interested in applying for the internship should contact Dr. Anne Schwartz @ aschwartz@surgi-carecenter.com.

Externship

The Surgi-Care Center for Horses also provides opportunities for veterinary students to perform externships/preceptorships. Veterinary students spend 2 to 4 week periods observing clinical practice at our hospital. The externship experience also serves as an excellent means for veterinary students to evaluate Surgi-Care for a possible internship following graduation from veterinary school. A detailed description of the externship is available in the “Avenues” section of the AAEP website.
