The Role
Hamilton Specialist Referrals have an exciting opportunity for a Small Animal Rotating Intern, where you will work collaboratively with clinicians across multiple disciplines and expand your skills, knowledge and experience.
We offer a specialist-led internship programme for the duration of 13 months. The role consists of varying shifts to suit the needs of a 24/7/365 hospital, which includes care of in-house patients during out of hours. Active involvement in client communication and patient care is expected, with participation in consults and treatments/surgeries. Our internship also offers weekly journal clubs and radiography rounds.
You will work with your supervising clinician to participate effectively in all aspects of planning, diagnosis and treatment of cases. Animal welfare and the ethics of interventions must be considered by balancing practical and financial factors when determining appropriate patient care.
You will openly engage in case discussions with the senior supervising clinicians, residents and senior nursing team, and should contribute to a positive, informative, respectful and inclusive environment for all.
