Residency Program  

Oregon Humane Society offers unique opportunities for veterinarians seeking to expand their knowledge and skill set in the field of shelter medicine through internship and residency programs 

Shelter Medicine Internship 

Each year OHS accepts two graduating veterinarians for a one-year intensive Shelter Medicine and Community Practice Internship at one of the premier animal welfare facilities in the nation. The primary focus of this internship is on developing shelter specific surgical and medical skills. OHS interns will perform high-quality, high-volume sterilization surgeries on dogs, cats, and rabbits, in addition to other soft tissue surgeries and dentistry. The interns work within the shelter and community hospital to manage medical cases, hospitalized patients, and treat infectious disease. Throughout the year there are opportunities for the interns to participate in shelter consultation practice, work on forensic investigation cases, visit local shelters, attend regional shelter association meetings, and receive extra training in areas of interest.
