Rotating Internships in Equine Medicine and Surgery

We are seeking motivated veterinary surgeons interested in developing their equine knowledge and practical skills as a key part of a progressive and supportive team in a busy referral hospital. 

Interns rotate through different services on a weekly basis including soft tissue surgery, medicine, orthopaedics, sports medicine, imaging, and anaesthesia. Each intern participates in 1 in 5* of night shift weeks, and 1 in 5* weekend day shifts to assist with the busy emergency caseload.

This role provides a solid foundation to allow interns to develop their careers in a number of areas, including ambulatory practice and specialist training. In addition to invaluable clinical experience, there is ample opportunity for involvement in research, teaching qualifications and publications. The internship also provides CPD access to the Veterinary Postgraduate Unit. The current programme includes several ‘elective’ weeks’, allowing individual interns to tailor their internship to best suit their desired clinical experience. (‘The OOH rota and ‘elective’ weeks may change at the hospital’s discretion for operational reasons)

Applicants should hold MRCVS (or be eligible for registration without the requirement to sit the membership examination). Check eligibility here:
