Job Description:
Monterey Bay Aquarium offers a one-year clinical internship for
post-graduate veterinarians for training in aquatic animal
medicine. We aim to decrease barriers for entry into aquarium
medicine and increase the diversity in the profession; therefore we
especially encourage candidates from underrepresented backgrounds
in veterinary medicine to apply.

read the following job specs carefully before applying.
The veterinary intern will assist the veterinary staff in providing
medical management for the aquarium's diverse collection, including
teleosts, elasmobranchs, invertebrates, birds, sea otters,
reptiles, and amphibians, as well as animals undergoing
rehabilitation (primarily sea otters). The program emphasizes an
evidence-based medicine approach, and the intern will learn and
advance their diagnostic and medical skills, including
ultrasonography, radiography, endoscopy, cytology, gross necropsy,
and surgery.
The intern will have the opportunity to learn from other
departments, including applied water science, animal care and
husbandry, conservation and research, and collections. The intern
will also help teach veterinary externs, aquarists, and
pre-veterinary students and may have the opportunity to participate
in field work and research projects with internal and external
collaborators.
The primary emphasis of this internship is on clinical work. We
encourage and will support the intern to perform clinical research
and present this research or other aquatic veterinary case material
to the aquatic veterinary medical community. This position will run
