The Rural Area Veterinary Services program combines high quality direct-care veterinary field clinics with clinical experience for future veterinary professionals to expand access to veterinary care and improve the health and welfare of animals in underserved rural communities.

OUR VISION: An inspired veterinary profession with the knowledge and skills to provide the best possible care in any setting and the commitment to extend that care to all animals.

For more than two decades, the Rural Area Veterinary Services (RAVS) program has worked to expand access to veterinary care in underserved rural communities where poverty and geographic isolation make regular animal health services unavailable.

RAVS’ veterinary teams have treated more than 135,000 animals, providing a range of services valued at more than $26 million - all at no cost to the clients or communities we serve. In addition, our field training programs have provided life-changing service-learning opportunities for more than 8,200 veterinary and veterinary technician students and professionals.

The RAVS program expands access to animal health resources via three interconnected approaches:

  • Direct care veterinary services provide immediate response to relieve suffering and promote animal and community health.
  • Clinical training and mentorship for veterinary professionals and students to increase awareness of the issues, provide relevant clinical experience and empower individuals to help shape effective solutions.
  • Community development support and project facilitation builds local capacity for community-based animal care resources and sustainable service programs.

New England Equine Practice offers a rigorous, post-graduate internship for veterinarians. Two interns share the responsibilities of a multi-specialty equine referral hospital, rotating on a two week basis between in-hospital and ambulatory roles. 

While on the in-hospital rotation, the interns will be present for the admission of all emergencies, with initial direct supervision of the attending veterinarian. Interns have the opportunity to directly manage the care of all hospitalized patients with direct mentorship from the hospital director, averaging 25 cases per week. Direct participation in all aspects of equine care at the referral level, with one-on-one education from all veterinarians in the practice, including medicine, surgery, sports medicine (including nuclear scintigraphy and MRI), regenerative medicine, reproduction, neonatology and neurology is experienced. Interns are invited to scrub in on all elective and emergent surgeries, including colic, arthroscopic and orthopedic procedures. 

Ambulatory rotation allows the interns to serve (initially with direct supervision, later transitioning to independent operation with back-up always available) as the 24-hour on-call veterinarian for all emergencies. Interns perform a full range of scheduled appointments and have the opportunity to perform duties with each of the practice's seven veterinarians, gaining experience with a wide range of horses and clientele. While on the ambulatory rotation, the intern serves as anesthetist for all surgical cases.
