Intern in Small Animal Surgery

2 months ago


Edinburgh, United Kingdom The University of Edinburgh Full time

UE06- £32,982

Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies/ Hospital for small animals

Full Time- 35hrs per week 

Fixed Term- 12 months starting January 2025 and March 2025

The Opportunity:

Based within the Hospital for Small Animals at Easter Bush Campus, Midlothian, this one-year Small Animal Surgery Internship offers excellent preparatory experience for those considering further clinical training.

The Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies has an international reputation for postgraduate training. Our Orthopaedic and Soft Tissue surgery services provide the opportunity to develop clinical, teaching and research acumen and experience in a supportive environment to help an enthusiastic MRCVS to achieve their career goals in Small Animal Surgery 

Each intern will also be paired with a mentor, to assist with pursuing a research project and guidance on career progression. We also boast a thriving programme of continuing education within the hospital, including dedicated weekly seminars for interns, as well as practical sessions and journal clubs. Candidates must have enthusiasm, a willingness to learn and an ability to function as part of a dedicated team in a busy hospital.

This post is full-time (35 hours per week).

An internship is a 12-18 month fixed term position awarded to qualified veterinary surgeons (usually early career) who wish to explore becoming a Specialist by achieving a Specialist qualification. This applies to both small animal and equine internships. The role is heavily supervised by more senior vets and has formal taught components. A 12 month internship rotating through different Specialties is a requirement to be eligible to apply for the next step in Specialist training -a residency.

Specialist training is via a three year residency followed by examination. The Specialist diplomas are awarded by either the European Board of Vet Specialists (EBVS) or the American equivalent and are recognised by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) in the UK. The curriculum is approved by the individual European colleges who sit under the EBVS, and the eligibility criteria for entering the training is also decided by the colleges, and includes a rotating internship. 

Below are links to the European colleges of Internal Medicine, Ophthalmology, Neurology and Surgery as examples of this requirement. 

There are also focussed discipline specific internships which are often undertaken after a rotating internship. These are again 12 month fixed term contracts for individuals who are wanting to further their specialist knowledge, by working in their field, to strengthen their application for a residency, whilst applying for a residency programme.

Your skills and attributes for success:

Member of RCVS or eligible at time of appointment Appropriate English language qualification Ability to work in the UK – please check right to work pages (via link below). Applicants should ensure they have fully read and understood the UK Immigration criteria required to apply for this position.  Communicate an interest in and enthusiasm for small animal surgery Evidence of appropriate experience in clinical practice
