To thrive as a Small Animal Rotating Intern, you need a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree, strong clinical reasoning skills, and a solid foundation in small animal medicine. Familiarity with diagnostic tools, anesthesia machines, and veterinary practice management systems is often required. Strong communication, adaptability, and teamwork are crucial for effectively interacting with clients and colleagues in a fast-paced hospital environment. These skills and qualities are vital to ensure high-quality patient care, efficient workflow, and successful learning during the internship year.

What are some common challenges faced by small animal rotating interns during their internship year?

Join a Team that Values Relationships, Flexibility & Community Care!

Tecumseh Animal Clinic, located in Tecumseh, Nebraska, is excited to welcome a new Mixed Animal Veterinarian to our laid-back, close-knit team. Our practice is deeply rooted in the local farming and ranching community, where relationships with clients and their animals are at the heart of everything we do. We take pride in offering flexible, compassionate care, always working to meet clients where they are. If you're passionate about mixed animal practice, building lasting relationships, and working in a collaborative environment, we’d love to hear from you!

About Us – Two Hospitals, One Team

Tecumseh Animal Clinic has been a trusted practice in the Tecumseh community for years. Our clients are more than just customers—they’re like family. We understand that veterinary care needs to be accessible and practical, so we work with our clients to provide personalized treatment options that respect both their financial and animal care needs.

We operate as a dual-hospital team alongside our sister clinic, Adams Animal Care, located just 20 minutes away in Adams, NE. Our three veterinarians rotate between both clinics, offering a diverse caseload that includes small animals, large animals, and even exotics, something you won’t find at many other practices in the area.

At Tecumseh Animal Clinic, no two days are the same. Some days are small-animal focused, while others involve farm calls and large animal work. We also offer on-site large animal services, including a heated back area and a hydraulic chute to improve safety and efficiency when handling livestock.

Hospital Hours:
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday: 8am - 5pm - Wednesday: 8am - 7pm - Saturday: 8am - 12pm - Sunday: Closed
Daily Lunch from 12pm - 1pm

What Makes Us Stand Out

At Tecumseh Animal Clinic, we offer a unique dual-hospital experience, allowing veterinarians to rotate between Tecumseh and Adams Animal Care for a diverse and engaging caseload. From small animals to farm calls, exotics to equine, this role provides endless learning opportunities in a supportive and mentorship-driven environment. Our commitment to client relationships, flexible care, and a team-based culture makes us a standout practice for veterinarians who want variety, mentorship, and a close-knit community.

Your Role & Opportunities

We’re seeking a Mixed Animal Veterinarian who has experience or interest in equine care, surgery, and general practice. If you’re a new graduate, we’re open to helping you grow your skills in these areas as well. This position offers a diverse caseload, including small animals, large animals, and equine patients, allowing you to expand your expertise and provide care across a wide range of species.

The Area

Tecumseh is a true rural community, surrounded by farmland, ranches and wide-open spaces. As a small-town, Tecumseh is home to hardworking farmers, ranchers, and families who value strong relationships. The town itself has a charming and down-to-earth atmosphere with local diners, and a welcoming community. While Tecumseh offers a quiet, country lifestyle, it’s also within 45 minutes of Lincoln, where you’ll find shopping, entertainment, and city conveniences. For those who love the outdoors, there are horse trails, hunting areas, and open spaces to explore. If you enjoy true small-town living while still having access to larger city amenities, Tecumseh is a fantastic place to call home.
