Internship Opportunities

Internships listed on this page are those that involve the student in a veterinary medical setting such as a clinic, hospital, or laboratory.  They are especially appropriate for preveterinary students and for those interested in veterinary assistant careers.

ASCI students routinely create their own internships at veterinary clinics and practices in Vermont and elsewhere by making direct contact and arrangements with veterinarians.  These are often carried out during the summer and close to home, but it is also possible do an internship for several credits during the semester at one of a number of Burlington area small animal clinics and large animal practices.  As with all other internships the usual requirements and guidelines apply for these internships.  See the "General Information .. " link in the main index.   See "Resources and Strategies .." link for suggestions about contacting prospective internship providers.  Contact Fran Kinghorn for additional information and suggestions.
