Position Overview Essential Job Duties The Internal Medicine Clinician Investigator Program provides clinical training in small animal internal medicine and graduate research training toward the PhD degree.

The primary objectives of the program are to develop clinical expertise in veterinary internal medicine, gain experience in didactic and clinical teaching, and become proficient in basic and applied research. The duration of the program varies according to each student’s ability to satisfy program requirements, but will be no less than five years, with the residency component of the program comprising the first three years.
