The Medicine team at the Centre for Animal Referral and Emergency (CARE) are looking for their next superstar intern!

You will join our team of four specialists, Drs Linda Abraham, Karen Brenner, Laura Lim and Sophie Haynes, along with their dedicated and highly skilled medicine nurses, who are all committed to delivering optimum care and outcomes for every single one of our medicine patients and clients.

CARE is a multidisciplinary hospital on the edge of the CBD in the cosmopolitan suburb of Collingwood. There are three main departments, Medicine, Surgery and Emergency and Critical Care and we like to work as a large collaborative team to get the job done. Our ECC department is open 24/7 which means we have excellent round-the-clock care for our medicine patients.

About the Small Animal Medicine Internship

• Compilation and summarising previous histories.
• Patient care of hospitalised patients.
• Assistance with anaesthesia and procedures.

• Mentoring and regular tutorials to help build on your medicine knowledge and help (if relevant) to prepare for ANZCVS membership examinations.
