A one-year, rotating internship is offered to candidates with a veterinary degree who wish to pursue advanced training in small animal or large animal medicine and surgery. During the program the interns participate in all the specialty services provided to clients and referring veterinarians through the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital. In small animal these services include internal medicine, cardiology, neurology, orthopedic surgery, soft tissue surgery, ophthalmology, dermatology, anesthesia, and emergency services.
Some elective time is available to pursue a specific area of interest.
The internship programs are coordinated through the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital. The interns are charged with a considerable amount of client and patient responsibility at The University of Georgia, and they are supported and trained by faculty clinicians who are world-renowned in their respective fields. Of those interns seeking residency training programs, the success of interns from The University of Georgia in placing in such programs is extremely high.
