The internship established by Palm Beach Veterinary Specialists is a multidisciplinary program that provides an environment conducive to the professional development of qualified individuals. The hospital is primarily a surgical, critical care and emergency practice located in West Palm Beach, Florida. Hospital accessions are patients requiring secondary and tertiary care admitted during regular hospital hours and through the 24 hour emergency and critical care service. The hospital serves the high-level medical and surgical needs of a six-county region.



The program is intended to develop special skills in intern candidates through the direct management of medical, surgical, emergency and critical care patients. Emphasis is placed on developing critical thinking abilities and learning the techniques of efficiently delivering quality care. The program is designed to prepare the candidate for residency training or advanced clinical practice. Interns work as hospitalists and assist in the diagnosis, treatment and management of in-house and out-patient emergency and elective surgery patients . Out-rotations are available to provide additional experience in dermatology, exotic animal medicine and general veterinary practice. Interns are required to participate in hospital rounds, seminars, in-house presentations and journal club.



All services are delivered within the strict environment of a busy, high-quality specialty practice where emphasis is placed on patient care, client communication and the promotion of professional referral relationships. Consequently, excellent interpersonal communication skills, a pleasant demeanor and an industrious attitude are integral to our system of providing a quality service experience to our clients and referring veterinarians. We look forward to working with motivated, talented and intellectually inquisitive individuals.
