This internship is designed for veterinary students with an interest in laboratory animal medicine. Interns will work alongside five clinical veterinarians and three resident veterinarians. The internship provides exposure to a wide variety of species including nonhuman primates, sheep, swine, mice, rats, zebrafish and frogs. Interns will participate in clinical cases, assist in veterinary rounds, and attend the resident’s weekly didactic trainings. As scheduling permits, interns may also attend IACUC meetings and Journal Club, gain hands-on training in rodent procedures and anesthesia, and assist with nonhuman primate quarantine. Interns will also conduct a short enrichment research project on a topic provided by the Enrichment team, and present their results to veterinary staff at the conclusion of the internship.
2 campuses with a variety of species.
We also have a residency program so interns will be exposed to their didactic curriculum, journal club, and regulatory club.
Students will both shadow and have hands on training depending on the scheduling and the clinical cases that occur that week. Interns will be there a maximum of 40 hours per week on Monday through Friday.
