Internship - Shelter Medicine
Maddie's Shelter Medicine Internship Program
University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Veterinary Medicine
Our Maddie’s Shelter Medicine Internship is a partnership between the University of Wisconsin Shelter Medicine Program (UWSMP) and Dane County Humane Society (DCHS). Our objective is to prepare interns for future careers in all areas of shelter medicine. This supports our program goal of increasing the life-saving capacity of shelters. Interns will treat a diverse shelter caseload using high level medicine, surgery, and dentistry, and gain proficiency in population management, shelter consulting, disease outbreaks, diagnostic testing, student teaching, and accessible veterinary care. UWSMP veterinarians and residents, as well as DCHS clinicians, provide extensive year-long mentorship and supervision.
