Description: We are currently accepting applications for a 1 year radiation oncology internship.
Intern applicants must have completed a 4 year veterinary degree and a 1 year rotating internship or its equivalent by the start of the program.
The goal of each of this 1 year internship is to develop the intern’s decision-making skills and improve the intern’s application for a radiation oncology residency. A board certified radiation oncologist and 2 board certified medical oncologists work in our practice. Radiation therapy equipment includes a 6 MEV linear accelerator with electrons, IMRT, and a 3-D radiation dosimetry system linked to a spiral CT and MR.
Our intern is expected to be highly motivated and work well with experienced veterinary technicians and other well-trained hospital support staff. The intern will have an opportunity for a 2 week rotation in our specialty practice in Dallas.
