Museum Medicine Internship

Museum Veterinary Sciences interns will gain experience in the medical management and husbandry care of exotic species maintained in the Museum's Living Collection including reptiles, amphibians, mammals, birds, fish, and invertebrates. Interns will work with the Museum's Chief Veterinarian, Dr. Daniel Dombrowski. They will interact with visitors at the Museum's Window on Animal Health (Window), while assisting with medical exams and veterinary procedures in the Museum's clinical veterinary medicine laboratory. Interns will also assist with diagnostic sample collection and wellness evaluations. Upon completion, students will gain a better understanding of veterinary medicine as it relates to public education and a natural sciences museum. Lastly, interns will receive a certificate of completion from VetPAC.
