Summary of Program

CARE offers a surgical internship to qualified candidates through the VIRMP match. Our goal is to provide an environment for growth in surgical hand skills, pre and intra operative decision making, post operative case management, and didactic skills for boards preparation. We seek candidate that are, enthusiastic, self-motivated and disciplined individuals interested in progressing to a surgical residency.

Intern responsibilities would include participation in weekly journal club and didactic rounds, participation in referring veterinarian continuing education, and two formal seminars annually. A research project with intended publication is strongly recommended. Additional time may be provided for rotation on other supporting services or for the pursuit of a research project. Interns will follow a well-defined curriculum to maximize exposure to clinical experience, didactic education, as well as learning to become a well-rounded and productive professional through hospital-wide support of emotional intelligence training.
