Would you like to grow your veterinary career? Look no further than the VSH Hong Kong Rotating Internship Program!

VSH Hong Kong is thrilled to offer one-year Rotating Small Animal Veterinary Internships, in which you will be working alongside our veterinary specialists and emergency veterinarians in our multi-disciplinary hospitals. Our rotating internship program provides excellent opportunities for you to further develop your veterinary career, as well as to pave the way for veterinary residency programs. 

Eligible candidates must have a veterinary degree and be registered with the Veterinary Surgeons Board of Hong Kong. Candidates must also be fluent in both English & Cantonese. During this rotating internship year, interns will work alongside Specialists in different departments and experienced Emergency Veterinarians, caring for inpatients and receiving out-of-hours emergencies. Our rotating interns will participate in our in-house CPD programs, review publications and also regularly prepare and present cases to veterinary professionals in our hospitals. Qualified vets seeking to train as Specialists are usually required to complete a one-year rotating internship as a pre-requisite before applying to residency programs.
