The University of Glasgow Small Animal Hospital is recruiting several Junior Assistant Clinicians (Interns) to deliver small animal veterinary clinical and care service under the supervision of experienced specialist staff.
You will, on a rotating basis, participate and assist, under supervision, in referral clinical activities, in areas such as anaesthesia, internal medicine, oncology, diagnostic imaging, neurology, soft tissue surgery and orthopaedics as directed. You will also, on a rotating basis, participate, and have direct case responsibility, in a Primary Care Out of Hours service. In all these activities, you will support student training and receive appropriate training yourself as required.
These posts are offered on a 1 year fixed-term basis, such that they offer the early-stage clinical experience required in preparation for further specialist training, for example through European Board of Veterinary Specialisation (EBVS®) approved residencies and/or masters formal training programmes. While appointments may be extended for short-fixed term period where this would be in the mutual interest, in the interests of ensuring that veterinary career development is supported, and to assist with recruitment to the University’s EBVS® approved Residency and our own Masters Programmes, the one-year duration will remain the normal duration.
Glasgow University Small Animal Hospital has an excellent international reputation in teaching, clinical services and research and is accredited by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS), the European Association of Establishments of Veterinary Education (EAEVE), the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) and we have several EBVS approved residency programmes. Our purpose-built hospital is one of the most sophisticated in Europe, allowing companion animals to benefit from the most advanced care available.
