The present report aims to describe the Internship in Veterinary Medicine for the undergraduate program at the University of Caxias do Sul. It took place from July 31st to November 3rd, 2023, at the Floresta Veterinary Hospital, located in the city of Porto Alegre, RS. The supervision was conducted by the veterinarian Dr. Fernando Negrello, a partner and owner of the hospital, and it was under the guidance of Professor Dr. Eduardo Conceição de Oliveira, totaling 560 hours of internship. Throughout this work, there is a description of the location, activities, cases observed during the period, and two case reports. One is a clinical case regarding Feline Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, and the second involves surgical resolution through cystotomy in a male canine due to urolithiasis caused by struvite calculi. Percentage-wise, the most common species observed during the internship was canines, accounting for 68.7% of the cases, with 63.8% being purebred and 36.2% mixed breed. In total, 239 cases were observed, with 27.7% related to disorders of the digestive system and its appendages, with the highest percentage involving gastroenteritis (42.7% of cases). In the field of surgical clinics, orthopedic surgeries involving osteosynthesis stood out, accounting for 16.3% of cases, with 83.3% involving canines and 16.7% involving felines. The Mandatory Internship in Veterinary Medicine is essential for academic training and completion because it allows students to put into practice the theory learned in classrooms and promotes maturity in various aspects that are essential in the job market.
