Intern/Extern

COVID-19 Update: Our externship application process has been revised. An externship will not be a prerequisite for internship application but is strongly encouraged if travel restrictions allow. We are able to accommodate a limited number of externs at this time. Please reach out via [email protected] if you would like to receive more information about our program. 

Rhinebeck Equine LLP offers five recently graduated veterinarians the opportunity for an intense year of clinical experience in an equine private practice setting with both ambulatory and referral hospital services. Interns gain all the necessary skills to be successful equine practitioners while under the guidance of our experienced veterinarians.

Our interns rotate through surgical, internal medicine, ambulatory services, reproduction, and sports medicine. Independent emergency coverage begins after appropriate training and orientation. The internship will provide excellent preparation for individuals seeking admission to residency programs or a career in general equine practice.

We also offer an extern program for veterinary students wishing to spend 1-4 weeks at our practice exploring equine medicine and surgery. An externship is a prerequisite for applying for an internship. Drs. Javsicas and Abuja coordinate the internship and externship programs at Rhinebeck Equine.
