Successful candidate will work under direct supervision of anaesthesia
specialists (2 ECVAA, 1 ACVAA Diplomates and 2 ECVAA-residency trained
fellow) to provide anaesthesia and analgesia service for highly varied
surgical and diagnostic procedures.
The anaesthesia team is responsible for all referral anaesthesia.
Plans are tailored to individual patients to achieve high standard of
care. Anaesthesia support is given to the first opinion cases as well.
The applicant should have 1 – 2 years of clinical experience in
general practice (preferably small animal) or have taken part in a
rotating internship. You will receive training to manage anaesthesia
and sedation of varied complexity and will gain competence in skills
such as applying various locoregional blocks and vascular access, just
to name a few. In addition, you will receive formal and informal
teaching through tutorials and case discussions throughout the
program. Desire to pursue a residency in anaesthesia is not a
requirement. However, this internship program is aimed at preparing
the candidate for a residency and the success chance of our past
anaesthesia interns in securing a residency position (ECVAA and ACVAA)
has been excellent.
