Great veterinary internship experience

Business outlook

Pros

Great learning experience right out of veterinary school. Helped in learning more about spectrum of care and shelter medicine that I may not have learned in school. Lots of surgery experience. Great mentorship while also having the opportunity to learn and grow as a new doctor. No weekends or on call shifts for interns. Many well-established SOPs/protocols aid in consistency among treatment for animals with commonly seen diseases.

Cons

Salary was lower than I would be making at a full-time position elsewhere, but compared to other internships, the salary was very nice!
