Our rotating internship provides comprehensive exposure to specialty and emergency medicine while advancing your independence and confidence as a clinician.
 
What You’ll Experience 
  • Diverse case exposure: Annual hospital caseload exceeds 19,000 cases, including over 30 emergency cases daily, ensuring constant opportunities to learn.
  • Structured learning: Interns rotate through Emergency & Critical Care (24 weeks), Surgery (9 weeks), Internal Medicine (9 weeks), Radiology (2 weeks), Cardiology (2 weeks), and Anesthesia (2 weeks), with 4 weeks of elective time.
  • Comprehensive mentorship: You’ll receive daily rounds with specialists, monthly check-ins, and a dedicated veterinarian mentor throughout the year.
  • Skill development: Manage emergency and hospitalized cases under supervision, participate in journal club and M&M rounds, and present a professional lecture.
  • Access to advanced diagnostics and treatments: Our facilities feature anesthetic and ICU ventilators, multi-slice CT, ultrasound (ER and specialty), continuous ECG and blood pressure monitoring, and complete in-house laboratory capabilities.
 
Why Choose CCVS 
 
At CCVS, we take pride in cultivating both clinical skill and professional confidence. Our interns are empowered to think critically, communicate effectively, and deliver exceptional patient care while being a vital part of a supportive team that values trust, collaboration, and compassion.
 
You’ll benefit from: 
  •  Annual CE allowance and paid professional memberships (AVMA, VIN, VECCS, MVMA)

    We’re growing, which means so will your opportunities.
     
    CCVS is currently expanding our Bourne facility, with completion expected in early 2027. The expansion will add more physical space, advanced medical technology, and three new specialty departments: Neurology, Ophthalmology, and Dentistry. It will also bring additional board-certified specialists in existing specialties and advanced diagnostics (MRI, fluoroscopy) to enhance cross-department collaboration and elevate our educational programs for interns and residents alike.
     
    This growth means that interns joining now will help shape the next chapter of CCVS and will train in a hospital that is not only advancing patient care but also expanding possibilities for future residents and specialists.

    Outside the hospital, enjoy all that coastal New England has to offer. Beaches, sailing, kayaking, hiking, and fresh seafood. CCVS is located just one hour from Boston and Providence, and a short drive from the White Mountains of New Hampshire.
