What is a rotating intern?

Rotating Interns are recent veterinary graduates who participate in a structured internship program, typically lasting one year, where they rotate through various veterinary specialties such as surgery, internal medicine, emergency, and critical care. This experience is designed to broaden their clinical skills and knowledge under the supervision of experienced veterinarians. The internship provides valuable hands-on experience, helps interns decide on a specialty, and is often a prerequisite for advanced training like residencies. Rotating internships are common in veterinary teaching hospitals and large specialty practices.
