Clinical Internship & Externship Opportunities

Moore & Company Veterinary Services is offering two 1 year clinical internships providing broad exposure to large animal medicine, surgery and theriogenology. Moore & Company also has a variety of Externship Opportunities available. Our case load is primarily equine, with a small percentage of bovine, camelid, and small ruminant cases. Our practice provides general veterinary medical services on both an ambulatory and in-hospital basis, and we are one of the main referral centers for western Canada. We regularly see cases from the thoroughbred and standardbred racing industry, hunters and jumpers, western performance horses, draft horses, and virtually every aspect of the horse industry. We see approximately 9354 appointments per year, and perform approximately 500 surgeries per year.

Our hospital has 20 indoor stalls, 1 surgery suite with 2 recovery rooms, 4 examination rooms, an indoor lameness examination center, and an isolation facility with 2 stalls. We also have facilities for handling bovine patients. A full service small animal clinic is located on the premises and interns may rotate through this service if desired. We offer a full spectrum of surgical services, digital radiography, digital diagnostic ultrasonography, videoendoscopy, gastroscopy, and shock wave therapy. We recently installed a new gamma camera in the lameness center, which is the first one Western Canada.

There are currently 12 large animal veterinarians and 2 small animal veterinarians working at the hospital. Our staff includes three board certified surgeons; Dr. Michael Scott, Dr. Shawn Mattson, and Dr. Peter Fretz. Dr. Scott has been with the practice for 7 years. Dr Mattson was formerly assistant professor of Large Animal Surgery at the Ontario Veterinary College at the University of Guelph, and joined the practice in 2005. Dr. Fretz is a professor emeritus at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon. He has taught large animal surgery for over 25 years, and is recognized internationally for his numerous contributions to many facets of veterinary medicine. He usually works with us for 4 months in the spring and summer. Dr. Chris Berezowski is a board certified theriogenologist who joined our practice in October 2005. Dr. Berezowski and Dr. Chris Belan focus on providing high quality reproductive services including breeding with frozen semen and embryo transfer. Following the opening of a new breeding facility in the spring, 2006, our embryo transfer and breeding work has expanded significantly. If the intern has an interest in this area regular rotations through this area will be organized.
