Valley Equine Hospital offers two 13-month internship positions. This is a hands-on, intensive, and rewarding programme, tailored to support your future career goals. Interns receive close mentorship from our two in-house surgeons, supported by our ambulatory team and boarded specialists in surgery, medicine, diagnostic imaging, and anaesthesia from the wider CVS hospital network.
VEH was opened in 1991, and is situated in the heart of Lambourn. The hospital is a fully accredited purpose-built unit with a wide range of facilities including digital radiography, ultrasound, nuclear scintigraphy, standing CT, gastroscopy and a modern operating theatre. In addition, the practice has a laboratory, which receives clinical samples from within the UK. The practice has an intensive care unit, mare and foal unit, isolation unit and twenty stables for inpatients.
Our Internship programme is part of the BEVA recognised Internship programme which ensures our iIterns start their careers in a well structured, professional environment. Additionally, our Interns are members of the CVS New Graduate Programme which includes access to a BEVA Fundamentals course, enables them to attend the BEVA Congress and provides them with a New Graduate Mentor within the practice.
Our placements are only available for students studying to be veterinary surgeons as the demand for placements is so high.
