The internship at the Brazos Valley Equine Hospital is organized through the AAEP Avenues program (Navasota, Stephenville, Salado) and is a one year rotating equine internship designed to provide a level of post-graduate training to prepare an intern for a residency program or private practice. The intern will have the opportunity to sharpen their diagnostic and decision-making skills in sports medicine, reproduction, surgery, internal medicine and intensive care. While gaining hands-on experience in routine procedures and advanced diagnostics, the intern will develop confidence in interacting with clients. Working in a fast-paced, friendly environment with the large caseload at our hospital can be very rewarding and educational. As a first job after veterinary school, this program should provide the intern with enough clinical exposure to allow a solid foundation to start in a clinical practice or engage in a residency program

We strongly believe in mentoring. The amount of supervision will depend on the intern's experience and licensing status and may vary as the year progresses. The intern is expected to develop skills to allow handling of in-house appointments and emergency cases, however the intern will always be under direct or indirect supervision as there is a staff veterinarian within 30 minutes of hospital at all times.
