Practice Life podcast examines the internship route into practice
An internship is the pathway to equine practice for many new graduates. In fact, recent AAEP data indicates that over 70% of the new equine graduates in a given year elect to do an internship feeling they might benefit from the additional work on clinical skills and client interactions.
In the most recent episode of the AAEP Practice Life podcast, hosts Drs. Mike Pownall and Jessica Dunbar are joined by three graduates of 2023 who recently completed internships: Dr. Kai DeVoglaer, who interned at Rhinebeck Equine; Dr. Mikaela Maldonado, who interned at Littleton Equine Medical Center; and Dr. Sam Prusak, who interned at Fairfield Equine. The three share their experiences, reveal what they learned and offer valuable recommenda- tions to those considering the internship path.
“The internship gave me a sense of what I can do confi- dently on my own, and what I still need mentorship for,” said Dr. DeVoglaer. “For me, it is important to have that distinction, to know where I can be independent, and then to also know where I need to ask for an extra hand. I would also say it gave me a resilience to know that I can do hard things, especially when I know that there’s good people supporting me.”
