Job description

Specific internship Veterinary Diagnostic Imaging, Large Animals

Duration: 1 year

Admission Requirements:

• Diploma of Veterinary Medicine recognized in Belgium
• Completion of a 1-year equine rotating internship

We are seeking an enthusiastic veterinarian with a strong interest in equine diagnostic imaging who wishes to further develop their knowledge and technical skills in a stimulating academic environment. The diagnostic imaging large animal hospital at Ghent University is equipped with a large animal DR room, ultrasound machines, a 320-slice CT scanner (for both small and large animals, including standing horses) and a low-field MRI scanner (for both small and large animals).

The successful candidate will join and support our diagnostic imaging service, working closely with a team consisting of three European Specialists in Veterinary Diagnostic Imaging (Large Animals), two ECDVI-LA residents, one radiographer, one rotating intern, and veterinary medicine students. The internship provides comprehensive, supervised training in image acquisition across all imaging modalities, including radiography, ultrasonography, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

The successful candidate will also benefit from regular imaging rounds, journal clubs, and extensive opportunities to develop image interpretation skills. Access to the Ghent University online library, including veterinary and medical journals, is provided. The specific intern will participate in the diagnostic imaging emergency service outside regular working hours. We are looking for a candidate with a positive attitude, excellent interpersonal and teamwork skills, and a professional, proactive approach.

A strong commitment to providing the highest standards of veterinary medicine and patient care is essential. Good written and spoken English is required. Knowledge of Dutch is advantageous but not essential, and may facilitate communication with students and referring veterinarians. You must have been graduated from an EAEVE-approved and European veterinary school, and are licensed or eligible to practice veterinary medicine in Belgium.

The closing date for submitting the application is December 31, 2026.

The imaging department will review the applications and invite you for an online interview. If needed, visitations will be organized. The final decision will be taken before March 1, 2027.
