This one-year internship in Small Animal Internal Medicine provides exposure to a large number of cases within the state-of-the-art Veterinary Medical Center at The University of Georgia, which is located in Athens, Georgia. Athens is a community of approximately 125,000 residents located 65 miles northeast of Atlanta.

The schedule includes a majority of weeks on small animal internal medicine, with weeks for elective rotations and/or research. The intern will receive training in advanced medical procedures. The intern is responsible for: * Managing cases under supervision of board certified faculty and residents and working alongside rotating interns * Communicating with clients and referring veterinarians * Helping teach principles of small animal internal medicine to fourth-year veterinary students pursuing the clinical small animal internal medicine rotation. * Assisting with re-examinations of patients of the small animal internal medicine service.

The Small Animal Internal Medicine intern participates in daily clinic rounds and weekly resident rounds/journal club/board review sessions. Participation in weekly Grand Rounds and other rounds at the University of Georgia are expected, and the intern will present at least one seminar during the year. The intern is also encouraged to complete a research project and first author manuscript for publication.
