Internship Opportunities
The
internship opportunities at Desert Pines Equine have been designed to
provide the hands-on learning experience and knowledge-base growth needed by
first year veterinarians to become skilled general practitioners or advance
into residency programs. We consider our interns an integral part of our
practice and our goal is to provide a rewarding educational experience.
Interns will rotate with each doctor at Desert Pines Equine every two weeks,
until released to see appointments independently. Rotation experience will
include providing direct care for hospitalized patients, assisting with or
performing surgical procedures, performing or assisting with diagnostic
procedures, running anesthesia, and accompanying veterinarians in the field
in order to learn a variety of approaches to diagnosis, treatment, and
communication. Through the established relationships of our veterinarians
with clients, interns will have enhanced opportunities to practice newly
acquired skills. In addition, interns will participate in bi-weekly Journal
Club/Case presentations, allowing for improved research skills and
knowledge.
