Miamitown Equine is seeking externship students who are also interested in a job opportunity with our practice. This externship is a great way to get to know the practice and see if you would be a good fit. We are a growing 1.5 doctor large animal practice located in the greater Cincinnati area. Our practice is 95% equine and 5% small ruminant, cattle, and camelid. We are primarily ambulatory, but based out of our partnered small animal practice. We have a wellness-based approach to equine medicine and see patients that range from foals to geriatrics, show horses to backyard pets. We strive to practice high quality medicine with digital radiography, ultrasound and power dentistry.
Mentoring is a cornerstone, with frequent interaction and discussion over cases. One doctor at our practice has been a horse doctor for 40 years- if you have a question about it, he’s probably seen it! The other doctor is a more recent graduate who still remembers exactly what it was like to transition from school into practice and and can help with any issues along the way.
We are in a great location near Cincinnati, Ohio with a great food scene and many craft breweries. We believe that you can be a horse doctor and also have a good work-life balance!
