Veterinary Medicine
Veterinarians care for the health and well being of pets, livestock, zoo animals, racetracks and laboratories. 
Most veterinarians diagnose animal health problems; vaccinate against diseases, such as distemper and rabies; medicate animals suffering from infections or illnesses; treat and dress wounds; set fractures; perform surgery; and advise owners about animal feeding, behavior, and breeding. While the majority of veterinarians work with small companion pets, many are also large animal vets. They work with livestock to inspect for any diseases that may be harmful to the animal, or to humans, such as E.coli, and then advise owners, typically farmers, on treatment.
As a Discovery veterinarian intern, you could work with veterinarians in private practices treating companion pets, interact with pet owners, or observe and assist with surgical procedures.
Past veterinary Discovery Interns have:
- Shadowed and assisted doctors and animal clinicians in caring for animals
- Gained exposure to surgery and rehab
- Experienced client interactions and management
- Learned how to operate an animal clinic
- And much, much more…
Testimonials
I love pets
more than anything else and to have had the chance to be able to work with
experts that share the same passion as I is a dream come true!
- Megan
I had
always thought that I wanted to run my own animal clinic but after an
internship it turns out that I have more of an interest in business then I
would have thought. This greatly affects my college major. I would have just
chosen a more veterinary route, now I know that business courses are a must
- Lee
Before the summer I could only tell you that
I loved dogs and cats. Now I could tell you how and why surgery is done on dogs
and cats. Now that’s awesome!!
