Oncology Internship in Richmond, VA

The Oncology Service in Richmond, Virginia invites applicants for a 1-year Veterinary Oncology internship. This is an internship with a busy private practice medical and radiation oncology group in Richmond, Virginia.   

TOS has been providing oncology care for companion animals in the Mid-Atlantic area for over 15 years. We currently have 3 practice locations in Virginia offering medical and radiation oncology. Our practice is dedicated to the integration of personalized and compassionate care with cutting edge options for cancer.

The intern’s duties will consist of assisting the oncologist seeing consultation cases as well as doing the majority of the paperwork associated with the new patients in order to develop a treatment plan and accurate assessment of the prognosis for those patients.  This position provides time spent with both our medical and radiation oncologists and services. 

We see patients Monday-Friday with no weekend or emergency in hospital responsibilities.  Phone triage is shared among the various locations, so responsibilities after hours are minimal.

We are an oncology-specific specialty practice equipped with new Heska Element blood analyzers capable of providing CBC, chemistry, ionized calcium, electrolyte, and blood gas results in less than 15 minutes, a brand new, top of the line, Vet-Ray digital X-ray unit, 8-slice GE CT scanner, and a Varian linear accelerator capable of IMRT/IGRT/SRT.  We are one of the only veterinary oncology facilities to utilize Scopio, an advanced slide scanning device with capability to submit slides to a pathologist and receive results in as little as 30 minutes. 

This is a unique practice opportunity as part of a multi-disciplinary oncology team focused on providing our patients and clients with innovation and state-of-the-art care.
