What types of responsibilities can I expect during a veterinary internship?

During a veterinary internship, you can expect hands-on involvement in animal care, including assisting with examinations, administering medications, preparing animals for surgery, and performing basic laboratory tests. Interns often shadow experienced veterinarians, observe procedures, and participate in client communication to gain practical exposure to the field. You may also help with maintaining medical records, ensuring cleanliness of workspaces, and participating in team meetings or case rounds. These tasks provide valuable real-world experience, making internships an important stepping stone for pursuing a veterinary career.

What is a veterinary internship?

A veterinary internship is a temporary, hands-on training program for recent veterinary graduates or students seeking practical experience in a clinical or research setting. Interns work under the supervision of licensed veterinarians, assisting with patient care, medical procedures, and diagnostics. These internships help develop clinical skills, expand knowledge, and provide networking opportunities for future employment or specialization. Programs typically last 1 year and may be in private practices, universities, or specialty hospitals.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in a veterinary internship?

Veterinary internships require a foundational knowledge of animal anatomy, physiology, and medical terminology, typically supported by enrollment in or completion of a veterinary degree program. Interns often use diagnostic imaging equipment, laboratory testing tools, and medical record systems, as well as hold up-to-date rabies vaccinations and insurance. Strong attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and the ability to communicate compassionately with pet owners and veterinary staff are essential soft skills. These competencies are vital for delivering safe, effective care and for learning in a fast-paced clinical environment.

Job description

Description:

Points East Veterinary Specialty Hospital of Wilson — one of only two VECCS-certified facilities in North Carolina—is seeking to add another board-certified surgeon to its exceptional team. Located in a new building designed by and for providers, you will spend your days cutting in suites bathed with natural light. Located just east of Raleigh, your peers will include fellow boarded specialists (Surgery, ECC, IM, and Radiology) and a stable team of thirteen full-time emergency veterinarians.


Every emergency veterinarian cuts ER cases. So, you will not be required to take call!


Your patients will receive comprehensive after-hours care, allowing you to maintain the work-life balance we all strive for.


Why Points East Veterinary Specialty Hospital
Established as a solo surgeon service in 2015 that partnered with an emergency practice in 2019, Points East VSH became Eastern NC’s first 24/7 ER + specialty hospital. Serving families from Raleigh to the Outer Banks, the region has become dependent on access to a DACVS Service.


The hospital provides a wide spectrum of care to a large region based on servant leadership values. With nearby sister hospitals, collaboration and camaraderie are already established cultural components.


You will play a pivotal role in shaping patient care protocols, mentoring staff, and contributing to training and development.


What We Offer:

  • Collaborative environment with nearby sister hospitals
  • A team founded with a servant-leadership style
  • Opportunity to lead and grow our entire hospital’s level of patient care
  • Experienced support from an established Specialty + ER team
  • Located in Wilson, NC, offering urban, suburban, or rural living options
  • Instinct Treatment + EMR, Dedicated ICU nursing team, Telemetry ECG, In-house 64-slice CT with an In-house DACVR, Endoscope, Laparoscope, High-Flow O2, x2 Hollowell Ventilators

Why Vets Pets:

  • Privately Owned: North Carolina-Based & Veterinarian-Led. No private equity investors dictating how you should practice medicine.
  • Commitment to Quality: With a slow growth mindset since 2007, the goal is not to build-to-sell but to build-to-sustain.
  • Visionary Leadership: Focus on giving veterinarians local practice ownership while influencing their hospital’s direction

Perks and Benefits:

  • Competitive salary
  • Opportunities to work with CVM students and ER Interns
  • Support for academic locum work if desired
  • Two medical plan options, plus dental, vision, and short-term disability coverage
  • 401(k) with employer match and immediate vesting
  • CE stipend
  • Professional dues, NC licensure, and AVMA liability insurance covered
  • Life insurance for you and eligible dependents
  • Flexible schedules and uniform allowance

Join a supportive, dynamic team and enjoy practicing high-level critical care backed by a stable, multidisciplinary specialty network.
