Animal Eye Consultants is offering an ophthalmology internship

Ophthalmology Internship

Animal Eye Consultants is offering an ophthalmology internship in the Chicagoland area starting July 2025 through June 2026.  The goal of the ophthalmology internship is to prepare a potential ophthalmology residency candidate for successful placement into an ABVO residency program following completion of the internship.

Clinical duties will be conducted under supervision of ACVO diplomates.  They will include (but not be limited to) diagnosing and treating clinical patients, running general anesthesia, and performing selected surgical procedures.  The intern will be expected to interpret laboratory and histopathology findings and communicate them with clients and referring veterinarians in a timely manner.  The intern will be expected to participate in Monday evening rounds (case reports, journal club, image recognition), histopathology rounds, present at the Midwest meeting and will also be encouraged to present at the ACVO meeting.  Candidates must be highly motivated and have previously completed a one-year rotating internship or its equivalent in private practice.  Candidates must have a valid Illinois veterinary license by the start of internship.  Selected candidates will be asked to interview by zoom or in person.  Applications are due January 15, 2025. This is a rolling application and an earlier start date could be considered.

Animal Eye Consultants offers a salary of $45K, medical and professional liability insurance and reimbursement for licensure,  ACVO meeting allocation, seven days for paid time off including residency visitation.
