Undergraduate Internships

Our undergraduate internship programs are offered during the months of January through June. Both programs are classified as full-time, seasonal positions in our practice. These internships provide the opportunity for undergraduate students to expand their general knowledge of equine veterinary medicine while they assist in covering operational needs during the busy breeding season.
