Small Animal Medicine Rotating Internship
The PVESC Internship provides veterinarians with a rigorous 1-year program rotating through our specialty and emergency departments.
The internship is structured for veterinarians looking to pursue both careers in private practice and further training in residency programs. We emphasize mentoring and teaching to provide a solid foundation in general, emergency, and specialty referral medicine.
Interns spend the year gaining experience by having primary case responsibility, performing and interpreting diagnostics, and communicating directly with clients.
Interns rotate through departments at PVESC including:
- Anesthesia
- Cardiology
- Emergency & Critical Care
- Internal Medicine
- Neurology
- Oncology
- Surgery
- Dermatology available as an elective
The program also involves weekly lectures, journal club, morbidity and mortality rounds, and a case presentation in the intern seminar series. Each intern is assigned a mentor who provides guidance throughout the year and assistance in future career plans.
Prospective candidates can contact Dr. Adam Shoelson, Internship Director art ashoelson@pvesc.com for more information.
Interns are selected through the Veterinary Internship and Residency Matching Program.
