While supported by experienced staff veterinarians and technician tem, interns can quickly earn autonomy – managing their own cases, participating in surgeries, handling emergency calls, etc. By the end of the 12 months, successful interns will possess the requisite skills and competencies to enter private practice or residency programs.
