Stillwater Equine veterinary internship program was established in 2006. The practice currently offers 1 internship annually. The internship is intended to provide the intern with a foundation of knowledge to enter private practice.
While in the hospital, the intern will work with Dr Arnesen and will rotate through the surgery, medicine, and anesthesia services. Primary responsibilities will include diagnostics and care of hospital patients, emergency duty, anesthesia, radiology, and assisting with lameness exams, medicine procedures and surgery.
On ambulatory, the intern will ride along with the four other doctors at the practice. The interns will assist and observe routine reproductive work, neonatal evaluation and medicine, basic lameness exams, radiology, and pre-purchase exams. They will also rotate on emergency on-call duty.
The internship is a salaried position, with benefits including health insurance, professional liability insurance, 1 week paid vacation, and expenses paid for one approved veterinary conference. A truck is also provided. For specific details on salary, benefits, and additional information, please see our internship program listing posted in Avenues on the American Association of Equine Practitioners website www.aaep.org.
Internships are for one year and run from May to May. Applications are accepted in the fall of each year. Notification of acceptance is in late November.
