ER Veterinary Internship - Thrive San Antonio

Description

ER Academy is a 1-Year, emergency medicine-focused internship designed for new graduates. Our goal is to provide training encompassing high-quality emergency care and client communication, in addition providing the tools needed for a long career in emergency medicine.

Interns are scheduled with a senior veterinarian committed to your mentorship. This allows for the presentation of cases and feedback as you are seeing patients. You will also have primary case responsibility within the 1st month and will be cutting surgical cases as your experience develops.

The interns across all locations will join for orientation, a symposium retreat, surgical training, and weekly didactic rounds. This collaboration allows for improved continuing education through journal clubs, grand rounds, case rounds as well as a larger community of interns.

By the end of the internship year, you will be well-versed in most emergency medicine presentations and be proficient in typical ER skills, procedures, and surgeries. At completion of the internship, you will be highly marketable and capable of comfortably going into any emergency veterinary facility with the tools needed to succeed

The ER Academy provides a structured program with diminishing oversight to develop competent emergency veterinary clinicians learning clinical and interpersonal skills.

Starting your first day on the clinic floor, ER Academy immerses you in emergency medicine as the primary clinician seeing a wide range of cases. Interns are integral to the hospital team and can expect to work most weekends and holidays to maximize their internship experience. You are scheduled on shift with a senior clinician dedicated to mentoring and ensuring your success while allowing you to be an independent doctor. The program features phased oversight, with no shifts working alone for at least the first six months.

You will be supervised in surgery with the goal of being competent in emergency soft tissue surgeries such as C-sections, pyometra, gastrotomies, enterotomies, R&As, GDV / gastropexies, splenectomies, cystotomies, and sometimes amputations.
