Equine Internship - Commencing October 2025
This is a 12-month position. The internship is primarily hospital based but candidates may be asked to perform other clinical activities within the practice as caseload requires. At the end of this internship we would anticipate that the individuals will have developed a wide range of competencies including lameness investigation, anaesthesia, reproductive work, diagnostic imaging and management of colic cases. The applicants should become well-grounded to enter private practice or apply for further post-graduate training.
The intern will be responsible for in-patient care, client communication and will assist with out-patient appointments, emergency admissions and surgery. Prior experience of equine anaesthesia is an advantage. The intern will be encouraged to complete a case report/series with the final aim of publication in a peer reviewed journal and relevant support will be given for this.
Chine House Veterinary Hospital is a well equipped and RCVS accredited equine hospital with MRI, stabling for at least 20 in patients, a supportive and friendly team of vets and nurses including a well recognised specialist in Equine surgery.
