The Veterinary Internship and Residency Matching Program posted its 2025 results on Monday, March 3, informing applicants of news they had long awaited: where they would spend the next one-to-four years of their careers—and lives.
Veterinarians who pursue internships are often aiming to hone their skills for a future residency or to gain an additional year of specialty training. Whereas the much-longer residencies are pursued to train for specialty board examinations.
Applicants at Michigan State are fourth-year veterinary students and current residents and interns. When results were posted, applicants, peers, colleagues, and mentors gathered to congratulate their achievements, no matter the outcome.
Congratulations to all who applied!
