Internship Opportunities
Interested In Interning?
Interns at the clinic learn to do all clinic-related tasks and go with Dr. Timm for on-site large animal work. If you are interested in becoming an intern here please call the clinic to schedule your shifts. Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays are surgery days and the remaining days are appointment days so schedule your shifts according to your interests. We take interns of any experience level because the purpose of the internship is for you to learn.
Please remember that your attitude towards your internship will affect how much experience you get out of it. The more you show that you can handle responsibility and take the initiative, the more we can teach you!
