Internship and Residency
Postgraduate training programs are offered by this department.
Firstly, we offer a 12-month rotating internship in veterinary
small animal clinical sciences. This program is designed for
veterinarians who have graduated recently. Secondly, we offer
3-year residencies in medicine and surgery. These are intended for
veterinarians who have completed a formal rotating internship or
its equivalent.
In order to be considered for an internship or residency at our
university, our state examining board requires that your veterinary
school be AVMA accredited or that you have passed either the ECFVG
or PAVE exams. If this is the case, then your application will be
welcomed.
All of these positions are filled on a competitive basis,
through the national computer matching program administered by the
American Association of Veterinary Clinicians. All program
