INTERNSHIPS
Would you like to work alongside specialists at the cutting edge of veterinary medicine? Unleash your potential with a Linnaeus internship.
WHY JOIN
LINNAEUS?
The real question is, why wouldn't you? At Linnaeus
we have the largest network of specialist-led referral practices in
the UK and Ireland, with over 120 interns and 90 residents working
across the group. As a company that is part of Mars Veterinary Health
we are committed to excellence and making A BETTER WORLD FOR PETS
Whether you would like to work your way up our Specialist training pathway or develop your knowledge and skills to continue your career working to the highest clinical standards in one of our primary care practices, we can offer you a well-supported internship programme. The career opportunities are endless.
WHAT IS AN
INTERNSHIP?
A one-year rotating internship offers the
opportunity to work within a state-of-the-art referral practice,
developing your clinical skills and knowledge by working alongside
world-renowned specialists.
Following an induction period, interns rotate through the various core and elective disciplines that can include:
- Internal medicine
- Soft tissue surgery
- Orthopaedics
- Anaesthesia
- Emergency and critical care
- Neurology
- Oncology
- Radiation oncology
- Cardiology
- Ophthalmology
- Diagnostic imaging
- Dentistry
A discipline specific internship is a one-year training post in a particular specialism. It’s a chance to significantly develop, both clinically and professionally, by working closely with and learning from specialists and residents in your chosen field. It is usually a bridge between rotating internship and residency posts but is not an essential step in speciality training.
WHY SHOULD YOU CHOOSE
A LINNAEUS INTERNSHIP?
Our rotating internship programmes are
structured with a thorough induction, ongoing support and a handbook
to help you find your way when you start. You will learn an incredible
amount from the cases you see as part of your clinical rotations and
regular seminars within the practice.
We also bring our interns together for regular teaching sessions across the group. There’s a programme of professional skills and wellbeing training delivered by experts, including Carolyne Crowe from VDS Training and specialists from within Linnaeus. Our diagnostic imaging specialists also deliver monthly intern imaging rounds and from the start of 2022 all interns will attend a year-long research skills course.
Interns attend an annual training day with clinical seminars, professional skills and wellbeing sessions and a career development workshop including sessions on writing CVs, covering letters and interview techniques.
All rotating interns are also given RECOVER online basic and advanced life support training.
Our discipline-specific interns are also given professional skills and clinical research training and have access to a number of journal and book clubs that run via online sessions across the group. We also run a session on “How to get a Residency" and give our interns the opportunity to have mock interviews.
MENTORING AND SUPPORT
All interns are
mentored by a senior member of the clinical team within the practice
who has received mentor training. Rotating interns have monthly
meetings with their mentor based around the internship workbook that
guides them in the creation of a personal development plan and
reflection on their progress throughout the programme.
Interns are further supported by the Internship Director in their practice, the Linnaeus Internship and Residency Manager and our Central Support Team who check in with the intern teams regularly during the programme and are available for advice and support.
HOW WILL YOU
BENEFIT?
We are passionate about enabling you to develop
yourself and your career. A high percentage of our previous interns
have progressed into discipline-specific internships and residencies.
There are so many opportunities to progress into residency training
across the group.
Alternatively, we can support you to become a highly-skilled clinician and progress your career within primary care practice.
Whatever path you choose, you will benefit from:
- Excellent in-clinic training from specialists in our multidisciplinary practices
- 1:1 mentoring with a trained mentor within a framework of monthly mentoring sessions
- Regular check-in meetings with the Linnaeus Internship and Residency Manager
- Small group seminar teaching
- Monthly intern film reading sessions
- Professional skills development
- Research skills training
- Support to undertake clinical research
- RCVS Knowledge Library subscription for journal access
- RECOVER online basic and advanced life support training
- Career development workshop
- Unrivalled network of specialist-led referral practices and over 120 Specialist pathway internship and residency training posts
- Access to careers within our network of excellent primary care practices.
