North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine is seeking an applicant for a small animal internship position. The interests of the successful candidate will dictate the structure of the internship program. Possibilities include a more balanced general rotating program with time spent in internal medicine (8 to 12 weeks) and emergency (20 to 24 weeks), with specialty rotations through anesthesia, radiology, neurology, oncology, cardiology, and surgery (2 to 4 weeks each) OR a program more weighted towards internal medicine with time spent in internal medicine (30 to 31 weeks) and emergency (4 weeks), with specialty rotations through anesthesia, radiology, neurology, oncology, cardiology, and surgery (1-2 weeks each).

Residents and faculty provide back-up coverage.

Presentation of a 30 minute seminar is required, delivered to an audience of faculty, house officers and students.
