12 month internship - Endell Equine Hospital - Wiltshire

​ ​

We are seeking enthusiastic and dedicated new/recent veterinary graduates for our 12-month Equine Veterinary Internship. This comprehensive program is designed to enhance clinical skills and provide valuable experience in a variety of areas, including:

• Diagnostic imaging: develop skills using imaging modalities including radiography, ultrasonography, endoscopy, nuclear scintigraphy and MRI

• Anaesthesia: a core aspect to the internship is gaining experience and a comfort level in administering standing sedation and general anaesthesia. Specialist training is provided a number of times throughout the year.

• Surgery: a wide range of standing and recumbent surgical procedures are performed

• Sports medicine: there is a high lameness caseload, with a combination of first opinion and referral cases

• Intensive care: we receive all kinds of emergency medical and surgical cases that require hospitalisation

• Lab: we have great internal lab capabilities, including cytology and culture, on top of the normal lab machines

• Reproduction: during the stud season mares come into the hospital for AI, which need scanning and ovulation checks

Interns will work under the direct supervision of our senior clinicians and specialists. Regular case rounds/discussions, structured feedback, and VetGDP mentorship ensure a supportive and enriching environment for professional growth.

Interns will be fully integrated into the clinical team, assisting with case management and client communication. Additional learning opportunities include participation in clinical rounds, journal clubs, and case presentations. There are opportunities to contribute
to clinical research and case reports for publication. Other visiting specialists come to the hospital, including surgeons, medicine specialists, ophthalmologists and dental specialists.

One of our main goals of the internship is to provide interns with the experience and clinical skills to be able to approach and triage any case.
