This is an amazing opportunity to develop existing skills and learn new ones under the guidance of our team of specialists and highly experienced practitioners. The rotating internship offers a unique and exciting opportunity to work with board certified diplomats in surgery, anesthesia, internal medicine, pathology and radiology, and a dedicated reproduction team, to grow your skill set in a fast paced hospital. As the only hospital of our kind in the State of Qatar, we offer services not only to the estimated 1000 world class Arabian horses at the Al Shaqab stud, but to all horses in the country, including international sport horses competing at the Al Shaqab stadium, located just minutes from the hospital.
Interns will rotate through the major specialties, working alongside a full team of assistants, nurses and experienced vets, to foster critical thinking, clinical decision-making, and technical proficiency. Interns will participate in the provision of out-of-hours care, with the support of the rest of the team.
