Matamata Veterinary Services is seeking applicants for our equine internship programme, commencing in August 2024 for a fixed 12-month term.
You will work as part of our equine team, based at our purpose-built hospital. Our team consists of 13 equine veterinarians, including 3 other interns, supported by a large team of nurses and office staff.
The internship position is primarily hospital based during the busy season (Aug-Feb), with an ambulatory component during the quieter period (Feb-July). Interns rotate through medicine (including neonatal ICU), surgery, anaesthesia, reproduction and ambulatory work. Caseload is high and varied, with the majority being Thoroughbred racing and stud work, with a smaller sport, pleasure horse and Standardbred racing component. The annual hospital in-patient caseload is around 1200 horses per year.
You will have the opportunity to work alongside an experienced group of equine practitioners with a wide range of skills, including two Board-certified surgeons. Formal tuition and mentoring are part of this package.
A culture of quality service to the client, dedicated care of the patient, teamwork and fun exist in this practice.
This position is ideally suited to a new or recent graduate that wishes to rapidly upgrade their equine skills. Applications should include a cover letter and a CV including the names of two referees.
