Rotating Internship information

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a rotating intern?

To thrive as a Rotating Intern (typically in veterinary or medical fields), you need a solid academic background in your discipline, hands-on clinical skills, and completion of a relevant degree or licensure. Familiarity with diagnostic tools, electronic medical records, and laboratory equipment is often required. Strong teamwork, adaptability, and effective communication help interns excel in diverse clinical environments and manage high workloads. These competencies ensure interns can deliver quality patient care, learn efficiently across specialties, and contribute to multidisciplinary teams.

What are the main challenges interns face during a rotating internship, and how can they effectively manage them?

During a rotating internship, interns often encounter challenges such as adapting to different departments, quickly learning new protocols, and managing varying workloads. Each rotation may have unique expectations, requiring strong communication skills and flexibility. To manage these challenges effectively, interns should proactively seek feedback, stay organized, and build rapport with team members in each department. This approach not only helps them adjust more smoothly but also maximizes learning opportunities across diverse clinical settings.

Job description

Veterinary Externship

Advance your education and career with a Veterinary Externship at DoveLewis Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Hospital. Externships are available to fourth-year veterinary students currently enrolled in an accredited college of veterinary medicine.

As a Veterinary Extern, you will observe a fast-paced specialty hospital, particularly in our ER and ICU and learn from our staff doctors at a state-of-the-art, non-profit, AAHA-accredited, and VECCS Level 1-certified teaching hospital. This externship is geared towards students interested in applying to our post-graduation rotating internship or ECC residency.

DoveLewis is a different kind of veterinary hospital. As a non-profit with no private equity or corporate investors, we have built a collaborative community that is dedicated to serving every animal and every person who cares for them. Join our AAHA-accredited and VECCS Level 1 medical center that includes a brand-new, state-of-the-art building for our specialty departments, a 3 Tesla MRI, and 64-slice C T. We also have several community funds to help low-income families, lost pets, abused animals, and wildlife access emergency care. Some of our other community programs include our on-site blood bank, pet loss support programs, and the Portland Area Canine Therapy Team (PACTT).

Externships last two weeks and start every other Monday. Students work on the floor four days a week, 10-12 hours daily. Externships are primarily observational ER rotations that do not replace preceptorships or other graded rotations. DoveLewis cannot provide evaluations to universities upon completion of the rotation and can only verify attendance for independent study credits. We accept applications on an ongoing basis. Rotations are available most of the year, excluding June and the end of December.

Requirements:

  • Externships are available to fourth-year veterinary students currently enrolled in an AVMA accredited college of veterinary medicine.
  • Externs must be eligible to work in the United States.
  • Externs must be able/willing to sign a liability waiver.
  • Externs understand this is an observational externship and not a preceptorship.
