Veterinary Internship - Neurology

Hamilton Specialist Referrals, South East

We are proud to announce that we are now inviting applications for a Small Animal Neurology Intern. This role is the perfect opportunity to work alongside two highly experienced Neurology Diplomates and expand your skills, knowledge, and clinical experience. This internship would be best suited to someone looking to pursue a Neurology residency next year. The role consists of varying shifts to suit the needs of a busy multidisciplinary hospital and includes care of in-house patients outside of normal working hours and on selected weekends and nights. Active involvement in client communication and patient care is expected, along with participation in consults and medical and surgical case management.

Interns are encouraged to openly engage in case discussions with senior supervising clinicians, residents, and the senior nursing team, and should contribute to a positive, informative, respectful, and inclusive environment for all. Attention to detail, particularly in maintaining accurate records and written correspondence, is also a key component of this role. The internship runs for 12 months and covers varying shifts to suit the needs of the hospital, including 1 in 4 weekend cover for Neurology and HDU services, and occasional out-of-hours work.
