At Metropolitan Veterinary Hospital, we focus on teaching our Interns through multiple didactic rounds each week. Additionally, we offer multiple journal clubs, grand rounds, clinical pathology conferences, and resident-level courses. As part of the program, Interns are required to prepare a clinical pathology presentation, a technician CE presentation, a grand round presentation, and encouraged to submit a publication to a peer-reviewed journal.

The Intern’s schedule is flexible and customizable, in line with your area of interest. Elective weeks are scheduled to allow further concentration in the Intern’s area of primary clinical interest. These rotations can be onsite or offsite at a place of your choice.

In addition to our top pay, the hospital will provide a portion of medical insurance, a uniform allowance, a continuing education stipend, and reimbursement for Ohio licensure. Interns will have 5 days for job and Internship/Residency interviews, as well as up to 5 days to pursue continuing education outside of the hospital.
