The Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine welcomes the college’s newest cohort of interns with 11 veterinarians starting a yearlong program in the Purdue University Veterinary Hospital and three at the hospital’s satellite facility in Shelbyville, Ind., the Caesars Entertainment Equine Specialty Hospital.

The clinical internship program is designed to provide advanced training to qualify each doctor for an approved residency program leading to board certification in a recognized veterinary specialty. The new cohort began Monday, June 14, with the doctors undergoing an intensive two-week orientation before beginning work in the clinics this week. The interns will be completing either a rotating medicine and surgery program or a focused specialty program.

Also beginning this past month is Purdue Veterinary Medicine’s new Wasson Veterinary Pharmacy Resident, Dr. Sidney Robertson. This yearlong residency in veterinary clinical pharmacy practice, named in honor of the donors who contributed significant funding to support the position, is offered by the College of Veterinary Medicine and the College of Pharmacy.

Please help extend a warm welcome to these newest members of the Purdue Veterinary Medicine family.
