A little about Pilchuck Veterinary Hospital - Equine Internship
Our team of enthusiastic specialists and ambulatory practitioners supports a rotating internship combining hospital and ambulatory work. Mentorship would come from boarded surgeons, internist, and veterinarians that have extensive experience in working closely with interns for case management. We have the only facility with multiple boarded equine specialists in the area. Case load consists mostly of equine patients with occasional small ruminants and camelids. After hours on call schedule is split among interns with pre-determined weekend time off and protected weekday/weeknight time off.
The goal of our internship program is to provide knowledge and confidence for our interns to join private practice or a residency program. Interns have primary case responsibility under the supervision of a senior clinician for the duration of the internship. The interns perform daily assessment of their cases, complete medical records, present cases in daily rounds, perform diagnostics, administer anesthesia, assist in surgery and medicine procedures and participate in monthly journal club. The interns on ambulatory service are under the direction of our doctors on all cases such as dentals, lameness exams, reproductive work, podiatry, etc. Interns will be fully competent to address aspects of patient care at an either primary role, or with indirect supervision. It's our preference to have 3 Interns each year, allowing us to balance training goals and schedule for a quality experience.
