Why decide to do an internship

An internship is a clinical training program where the recent graduate is able to fully play the role of a professional under the guidance of an experienced veterinarian or specialist. The intern is an autonomous veterinarian who will have to make decisions and actively participate in all aspects of case management. An internship is therefore the opportunity to practice one’s profession with supervision and support. The objective being to see the maximum cases in a one-year period while receiving constructive feedback in order to learn most and grow as a professional at an accelerated speed. The aptitudes, knowledge and kills developed during an internship allow the candidates to stand out professionally, be competitive for better employment and access specialty training.
