Are you interested in gaining experience for veterinary school or applied animal health? Are you also interested in working with veterinary students and capturing a glimpse into life in veterinary school? The parasitology program in the OSU College of Veterinary Medicine is offering an internship opportunity to an undergraduate student to participate as a teaching laboratory helper in the third year veterinary parasitology laboratory. As an assistant, you would handle a variety of samples and learn several laboratory techniques to analyze those samples. You would also learn details about internal gastrointestinal parasites as well as external parasites and become familiar with identifying parasites and their structures through the use of a microscope. By interacting with veterinary students and personnel of the college, you have the chance to see what is expected of an individual at the professional level. This is a unique experience to gain knowledge in the specialized topic of veterinary parasitology. The department takes two interns per year: one in the fall (1 month, M, T, Th and F afternoons) and another in the spring (Jan through April, several days a week). Applicants must commit to 12 hours per week.
