Our Internship Program is internationally recognised. In fact we commonly have about half the interns from overseas. There is much more information about the Internship Program (CLICK HERE) or if you are interested in who went before have a look HERE.

Current Interns (Breeding season 2007/2008):

Have a look at this picture. It explains everything about this group. Fun loving, confused and more interested in partying than work. Not quite true; they are actually a great bunch but just take time to get to know and understand. Clockwise from the left: Jen, Seamus, Tash and Max. 

Max Hall: Max comes from Brisbane in Queensland. He visited as a student during last winter. His enthusiasm and confidence earned him a one year position here. He is also very motivated and eager to learn. Max is definitely going to be a surgeon one day. Outside work Max is a fitness fanatic. Moderation is not in his vocabulary and as a result he is a ball of muscle. Since Max arrived all the interns have been exercising! He loves the gym and liked swimming (at least until the Danes left-see previous interns). He looks like becoming the fitness advisor to the hospital. Max loves his dog, a bull terrier, more than anything else.......its called "Teddy Bear"...indeed! Max can be contacted on maxhall@gmail.com

Natasha Hanovessian: Dr. Tash is from the North Shore of Sydney. She spent her time as a student working at one of its best small animal practices as a nurse.
After a month here at GVEH and some sleepless nights spent with seizuring foals Tash decided she would like to work as an intern. Now she lives in Shepparton with us and although Shepparton lacks some of the patisseries that Tash misses she really enjoys working here. She has a particular interest in ultrasonography and medicine. Tash is a vegetarian and doesn't drink. The other interns have been trying to change that but there's plenty of time yet. 
Contact Tash on natashahov@yahoo.com.au

Seamus Hoey: Tall and quiet Seamus is another of the Irish contingent. Reckon there must be another potato famine we weren't told about. They are all over here. Seamus has been with us for seven months. So far he has learnt to surf and run (no pictures to prove it mind you although he beat Max by 5 minutes in a fun run a while ago- probably due to the disparity in leg size I reckon). Seamus has a strong interest in diagnostic imaging and plans to apply for a training position in that area. As the tallest and longest serving of the current interns, Seamus is the go to man for any problems (veterinary) the other interns may be having. He is calm and confident and can always be relied on to provide good accurate advice. Try Seamus on seamushoey@gmail.com

Jennifer Lugton: Jen arrived like a breath of fresh air. Jen is from Dural in New South Wales. Jen was a student with us in late 2007. She worked hard and we liked her so much she came back as an intern. Jen is the excitable one of the intern group. She is
really enthusiastic about her work and forms particularly strong bonds with her intensive patients. She can be found walking and brushing the colic patients before they go home and leave her. Jen's boyfriend Rob has accompanied her from Sydney and combined with Reilly their puppy, they are the happy family of the interns. Jen's dancing can be seen at any time of the day or night depending on her mood.
