Equine Medicine and Neonatology Fellow

We have a seasonal position available for an equine medicine and neonatology fellow in our hospital. The desired start date is the 28th July 2025 and the position will run until the 21st December 2025. The position will be hospital based with exposure to a large number of intensive neonatal and adult equine medicine cases guaranteed. The successful applicant will work alongside five equine medicine specialists to provide a high level of veterinary care to critically ill neonatal foals, adult horses, and post-operative patients. We admit approximately 800 medicine cases to the ICU per year, of which more than 200 are critically ill neonatal foals. The on-call roster is a 1 in 3 roster for weeknights and weekends and the fellow will be provided support from an equine medicine specialist for all on call duties. Participation in weekly journal club rounds will be expected. The position would be suited to a candidate in pursuit of an equine medicine residency position who has completed an internship programme, a medicine resident who has recently completed their training programme, or a current ECEIM medicine resident in an alternate programme. A research project is encouraged.
