The EVA Internship Guidelines have been developed to provide a practical framework for designing, delivering, and evaluating high-quality equine veterinary internships in Australia.
They promote transparent employment conditions, structured clinical training, effective mentorship and clear performance expectations, while aligning with national veterinary standards.
