Internships

The internship is designed to provide 2 highly motivated individuals with in-depth, one-on-one training in lameness, internal medicine and reproduction, while offering additional experience in ambulatory medicine, sport horse medicine and pleasure horse practice. Mentoring is provided by seven full time veterinarians, including a board certified internal medicine specialist, and two on-call board certified surgeons. Emphasis is placed on developing diagnostic skills using physical examination and clinical laboratory testing while becoming proficient in the use of ancillary diagnostics,
such as digital radiography and ultrasonography. The interns assume increasing case management, client communication and solo ambulatory responsibilities during the year. The internship at B.W. Furlong & Associates provides a well-rounded experience for individuals interested in pursuing a career in private practice or a residency in internal medicine.

 

Interns rotate between hospital and ambulatory responsibilities. The ambulatory intern will spend mornings performing in-patient lameness evaluations with Dr. Furlong. The remaining time will be spent with ambulatory clinicians and doing solo ambulatory calls. The hospital intern will manage out-patient internal medicine cases and hospitalized
cases with Dr. Gardner. Interns participate in a rotating emergency coverage schedule.

 

Candidates interested in pursuing an internship at B.W. Furlong & Associates are strongly encouraged to visit the practice on an externship. Application requirements consist of graduation from veterinary school, a passing score on NAVLE or NBE and CCT and prerequisites necessary to obtain New Jersey licensure. Applications should include a letter of intent, curriculum vitae, transcript, three letters of recommendation, and current photograph.
