Pre Vet Internship information

What is a pre vet internship?

A Pre Vet Internship is a structured learning experience designed for students who are interested in pursuing a career in veterinary medicine. These internships provide hands-on experience working with animals, exposure to veterinary practices, and mentoring from licensed veterinarians. Interns may assist with animal care, observe medical procedures, and gain insight into the daily operations of clinics or animal hospitals. Such internships help students strengthen their veterinary school applications and clarify their career goals. They are typically available to high school, undergraduate, or post-baccalaureate students.

What types of hands-on experiences can I expect during a pre vet internship?

During a Pre Vet Internship, you’ll typically gain exposure to a range of clinical tasks such as animal handling, administering basic care, assisting with diagnostic procedures, and observing surgeries. Interns often work closely with veterinarians and technicians, learning how to document cases, communicate with clients, and maintain animal health records. This role is designed to provide a realistic view of daily veterinary practice and helps build foundational skills that are highly valued in vet school applications. Expect to work in both team settings and independently, with mentorship and feedback provided throughout your internship.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a pre vet intern, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Pre Vet Intern, you need a solid understanding of animal biology, basic veterinary concepts, and enrollment in or completion of relevant undergraduate coursework. Familiarity with laboratory safety protocols, animal handling equipment, and veterinary management software is often expected. Strong observational skills, attention to detail, and effective communication are crucial soft skills for success in this role. These skills and qualifications are vital for supporting veterinary teams, ensuring animal welfare, and gaining hands-on experience necessary for a future veterinary career.

What is the difference between Pre Vet Internship vs Vet Technician?

Pre Vet Internships are designed for students exploring veterinary medicine, focusing on observation and basic assistance. Vet Technicians are trained professionals providing technical animal care. While both roles involve working with animals, internships are educational experiences, whereas vet technicians perform ongoing clinical duties.

Job description

Vet-Track / Pre-Vet / Vet Tech Students Encouraged to Apply

Sisu Refuge is a nonprofit farmed animal sanctuary launching a pilot program focused on advancing medical data collection and long-term health tracking for large-breed pigs in sanctuary settings.

We are seeking a paid intern with veterinary, animal science, or vet-tech training to support hands-on animal care, medical record organization, and data collection under veterinary guidance. This role is ideal for students or early-career professionals seeking meaningful, real-world experience in sanctuary medicine and herd health.

Key Responsibilities

  • Assist with animal handling during exams, treatments, and procedures
  • Organize and maintain medical records (digital and physical)
  • Track weights, medications, lab results, and treatment timelines
  • Assist with data collection for a pilot health-tracking program
  • Support veterinarians and senior staff during scheduled care days
  • Help standardize protocols to support future sanctuary research efforts

Hands-On Training & Learning Opportunities

This paid internship includes supervised, on-site training in sanctuary animal care and veterinary support tasks. Depending on experience and comfort level, the intern may assist with:

  • Vaccine preparation and administration under veterinary or senior staff guidance
  • Collection and handling of fecal samples for parasite monitoring
  • Animal restraint and handling techniques appropriate for large-breed pigs
  • Documentation of treatments, vaccines, and lab results
  • Supporting seasonal herd health initiatives throughout the summer

This Role Is a Good Fit If You Are

  • Enrolled in or recently completed a veterinary technician, animal science, or pre-vet program
  • Interested in sanctuary medicine, animal welfare, or applied veterinary research
  • Comfortable with both hands-on animal care and detailed record-keeping
  • Seeking paid, meaningful field experience in a non-production animal care setting

This role is designed to provide substantive, real-world experience for individuals pursuing veterinary medicine, veterinary technology, or animal science pathways.

  • Are you currently enrolled in or planning to apply to a veterinary, veterinary technician, or animal science program? If yes, please briefly describe.
  • What interests you most about hands-on training in herd health tasks such as vaccines, fecal sampling, and medical record tracking in a sanctuary setting?
