Internship & Externship Programs
At Alamo Pintado, our commitment to education and teaching is a priority. We believe that in teaching veterinarians and veterinary students, we advance veterinary knowledge and improve the quality of care we give to our patients. From this vision stems the two programs we offer for veterinary students and veterinarians.
EXTERNSHIP PROGRAM
Highly motivated veterinary students, on their third or fourth year of their professional education, may apply and join the staff at Alamo Pintado for externships lasting two to six weeks. Under the direct supervision of the veterinary staff, they will gain solid, hands-on experience and knowledge in equine medicine. The level of veterinary care that they observe at Alamo Pintado will allow them to return to their schools having had an exceptional experience in equine field practice and private referral center. Many extern students apply to come back to Alamo Pintado for our Internship program after they complete their schooling.
During their visit, the students stay on the property in the guest rooms at the Intern’s house. This ensures that they experience the full extent of equine veterinary medicine, as they will be on hand for the day-to-day operation of the facilities as well as for emergencies and overnight care. Please apply early as the positions fill on a first-come-first-serve basis. To submit your application to our externship program, please click below.
INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
Over the last 30+ years of our internship program, over 100 veterinarians have come through the program and gone on to contribute significantly to the advancement of equine veterinary medicine. Our competitive Internship Program offers recent veterinary graduates the opportunity to work with our staff and experience equine veterinary medicine at it’s finest.
Applicants are selected from the most prestigious veterinary schools in the country and around the world. Our Intern veterinarians manage the medical care of our critical patients, facilitate the day-to-day operations of the clinic and help our staff with the daily appointment caseload. These young veterinarians live on the property and work through an intense yearlong program. At the end of that year, these individuals will have refined and deepened their diagnostic, surgical and technical skills and their understanding of equine medicine. Many of our Interns have already visited the clinic during scheduled Externships and many of our veterinarians currently on staff stayed after completing their Internship. Others went on to successfully apply and complete residency training at veterinary schools and are now highly respected specialists in their fields.
