... and I love it!
I know match time is coming up for the 2014'ers on here and I just wanted to tell you guys I am an intern and I absolutely love my job.
I work crazy hours, it's stressful, and I easily spend 80-100+ hours per week at work, but after 7 months I can say I have zero regret with the decision! I learn so much every day its absolutely amazing and my internmates are some of the best people in the world. I get paid next to nothing(relatively speaking), but at the same time I learn far more in any given day then I did when I was paying for clinics as a senior veterinary student so it's not such a horrible deal. Also for those wondering I didn't do an internship because I didn't feel ready to practice at graduation. I did an internship because I want to be the absolute best doctor I could be when I was 1 year out of school. And I cant imagine any way of getting more training in less time than through a good internship.
So good luck to you all!
