To thrive in an Internship Veterinary Acupuncture role, you need a foundational veterinary degree (DVM or equivalent), basic knowledge of animal anatomy and physiology, and completion or pursuit of acupuncture certification such as from IVAS or Chi Institute.

Strong observational skills, patience, and empathy are crucial soft skills for building trust with animal patients and their owners. These competencies ensure safe, effective treatments and foster positive client relationships in a specialized veterinary setting.

What is an internship in veterinary acupuncture?

An internship in veterinary acupuncture is a structured training program where recent veterinary graduates or students gain hands-on experience in applying acupuncture techniques to animals under the supervision of experienced practitioners. The goal is to develop clinical skills, deepen understanding of Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM), and integrate acupuncture into comprehensive animal care. These internships often include both practical sessions with patients and theoretical coursework, preparing participants for certification and future practice in veterinary acupuncture.

What are some common challenges faced by interns in veterinary acupuncture, and how can they be addressed?

Interns in veterinary acupuncture often encounter challenges such as mastering precise needling techniques on various animal species and effectively communicating treatment plans to clients. Additionally, adapting to the fast-paced environment of a veterinary clinic while balancing the theoretical knowledge with hands-on practice can be demanding. These challenges can be addressed by seeking feedback from experienced mentors, engaging in regular practice, and attending case discussions to deepen understanding. Building strong relationships with both the veterinary team and clients also helps interns gain confidence and improve their skills.

Job description

The Angell Animal Medical Center (AAMC) in Boston, MA is seeking applicants for a licensed veterinarian to join our robust Internal Medicine practice.

WHO WE ARE: 

Angell is part of the MSPCA, one of the oldest and most respected humane organizations in the world. Angell has served the greater Boston and scenic New England area as a primary care facility, a 24-hour emergency hospital, and as a tertiary referral center for 100 years. We are part of a premier veterinary institution staffed by 60 senior veterinarians, 25 interns, and 15 residents.

At Angell we practice within an 80,000 square foot, state-of-the-art hospital containing a critical care unit, blood bank, multiple specialty rooms, 6 surgical suites, electrodiagnostic equipment (Cadwell, Nicolet), full service clinical laboratory, and histopathology laboratory for on-site biopsy evaluation. Intra-operative surgical biopsies can be processed via cryomicrotome. AAMC’s Diagnostic Imaging Center, supported by 3 board-certified radiologists, has a new state-of-the-art 16 slice Toshiba CT, a brand new 1.5 T MRI, and C-Arm for fluoroscopic imaging.

THE POSITION:

Our Internal Medicine service prides itself on being comprised of dedicated, collegiate, and compassionate team players. We collaborate closely with all of Angell’s specialty services including diagnostic imaging, emergency and critical care medicine, surgery, neurology and neurosurgery, nutrition, medical and radiation oncology, ophthalmology, anatomic and clinical pathology, dentistry, acupuncture, anesthesiology, avian and exotic medicine, behavior, cardiology and cardiothoracic surgery, dermatology, and physical rehabilitation.

In addition to seeing appointments, our internists perform endoscopic and laparoscopic procedures, interventional procedures such as tracheal and urethral stenting, I-131 treatment, and manage continuous renal replacement therapy (Prismaflex CRRT and Carpe Diem) and hemoperfusion. We are vitally involved in didactic training and leadership of residents and interns assigned to the service.  We also pride ourselves on maintaining long-lasting and active relationships with other primary care hospitals in Boston and the surrounding area. Candidates must demonstrate aptitude for multi-tasking and working successfully in a team environment as the learning opportunities and professional challenges provided by our case-load are second to none.

OUR LOCATION:

We also can take part in Angell’s rich educational offerings including weekly on-site continuing education seminars and regular multi-disciplinary specialty rounds. Enjoy the diverse culture, arts & entertainment, and sports events in Boston, or spend weekends ocean-side or hiking on scenic mountain trails within a short drive of the city. Boston’s Logan Airport has direct routes to many of the major cities nationally and internationally.

POSITION DESCRIPTION AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

We are seeking a full time, board certified internist. Clinical responsibilities will include primary management of small animal Internal Medicine cases, didactic training of interns and residents, and performing endoscopic and laparoscopic procedures. Experience with interventional and extracorporeal therapies preferred.

BENEFITS:

Outstanding compensation package commensurate with experience and qualifications includes health and dental insurance, 403(b), generous CE stipend and paid holidays and vacation.
