Veterinary ​Internship Program

Tennessee Equine Hospital is proud to host veterinary interns each year through our competitive Internship Program. Tennessee Equine Hospital's Internship Program is a compensated, one year internship beginning in June of each year and extending to June the following year.  The purpose of this internship is to expose the interns to all aspects of equine practice.

The interns will rotate weekly between the main hospital, surgery, outpatient care, ambulatory service, and the hospital at our Memphis location. Our interns will initially be expected to provide support and daily assessment of hospital and reproductive center cases and support with ambulatory cases.  As the intern becomes more comfortable with procedures and practice, responsibilities will be given accordingly.  These duties will eventually include complete management of hospital cases, overnight ICU, foal cases, emergency rotation, lameness workup, and ambulatory caseload.  

The internship includes a competitive annual salary, a residence at our Intern Housing Complex on site with all utilities provided during the internship, health insurance plan, AVMA PLIT liability insurance, disability insurance, state licensing fees and professional privilege tax, AVMA membership, AAEP membership, paid time off. Visit the AAEP Avenues Link below for more information.
