Veterinary Internship - Internal Medicine

Job description

Pride Veterinary Referrals is a large, purpose‐built, state‐of‐the‐art referral hospital in Derby. The facilities include thirteen consultation rooms, seven hospital wards, five theatres, three ultrasound rooms, a cardiology suite, an advanced imaging suite with CT and MRI, interventional radiology capability, an endoscopy suite, hydrotherapy pool and treadmills, and a dedicated chemotherapy room.

Pride Veterinary Referrals sits in the heart of the prize‐winning Pride Park development, surrounded by sporting facilities and commercial enterprises. The Derbyshire Dales foothills provide idyllic surroundings while the urban benefits of Derby and Nottingham are just a short drive away, with an international airport conveniently close by.

About The Team And CultureThe successful applicant will join an established team comprising three ECVIM‐CA internal medicine diplomates, one ECVIM‐CA oncology diplomate, four ECVIM‐CA residents, two discipline‐specific interns, and dedicated medicine nurses. The hospital delivers specialist‐led care through multidisciplinary, diplomate‐driven services (internal medicine, oncology, cardiology, neurology, surgery, anaesthesia, and ophthalmology) to provide the best possible outcomes for patients. Pride Referrals collaborates with the University of Nottingham School of Veterinary Medicine, offering opportunities for clinical rotations and teaching of final‐year students.

Applicant RequirementsDesire to pursue a residency is not a requirement; however, the one‐year internship is designed to prepare the candidate for an internal medicine residency. Successful candidates must be members of the RCVS at the start of the internship and possess proficiency in English, excellent communication skills, reliability, the ability to work and think clearly under pressure, and strong interpersonal skills.
