Internships at Ballarat Veterinary Clinic
The required supervision and appropriate teaching whilst learning these practical skills will be undertaken by registered specialists, senior surgeons, senior associate veterinarians, and experienced nursing staff – and will be conducted at the highest possible level.
Objectives of the Program
The aim of the program is to provide a high level of experience and advanced speciality training in equine surgery, anaesthesia, lameness diagnosis, ultrasound, endoscopy, and emergency medicine, that will provide you with an excellent grounding in equine veterinary science.
The ultimate goal is to prepare graduates for a successful career in the equine veterinary industry, whether that be through progression to a surgical residency, or a role as a general practitioner or racetrack veterinarian.
During the internship program, you’ll undertake rotations through the various aspects of the practice and will keep a personal record of procedures performed.
The intern should expect an 18-month intensive post-graduation learning arena where there is an opportunity to enhance theory already taught, and achieve a high level of practical skills, described in more detail in the attached PDF.
