Internships

 We welcome interns to join us for a one year internship! 

 East-West Equine Sports Medicine is a unique private equine practice that spans the United

 States following the AA rated hunter/jumper show circuits. We feel very fortunate to follow

 the best weather all year. We are based in Lexington, KY but spend our winters (October-

 March) in Thermal, California, and summers (June-September) in Traverse City, Michigan. In-

 between we are located back in Lexington, KY. 

 Things interns may learn and practice while with us are:

• Lameness examinations
  

• Pre-purchase/pre-lease examinations,
  

• FEI jogs and classes

• Ring emergencies
  

• Colic examinations
  

  • IV Catheter Placement
    

  • Nasogastric tubing
    

  • Rectal palpation 
    

• Joint injections 
  

• Diagnostic imaging
  

  • ​Radiography

  • Ultrasound

• Shockwave therapy

• Acupuncture
  

• Massage
  

• Ophthalmology exams
  

• Cold laser therapy
  

• Research projects
  

​

 By no means is this a comprehensive list! Rarely do we know what kind of day we will have at

 a show, so interns will get to see and practice a large variety of clinical medicine.

 If you have questions or would like to apply for an internship, please email us with a resume

 and cover letter!
