Cultivating Leadership

A Beacon of Excellence.

Ocean State Veterinary Specialists is one of the premier veterinary facilities in the country. Because we have specialists in almost every discipline, state-of-the-art equipment, 24-hour care and a large caseload, OSVS is an ideal facility for training veterinarians who want to gain extra experience and skills following veterinary school graduation pursue specialization.

The internship Program at OSVS

OSVS has a well-established internship program. Interns are graduates of veterinary school and are fully licensed veterinarians. Unlike in human medicine, internships are not required for veterinarians. Most veterinary graduates choose to go straight into practice, but some are interested in gaining more experience managing patients with serious acute and chronic illnesses. An internship allows them to work with these patients under the supervision of board-certified specialists and very experienced emergency doctors. Because of the excellent reputation of our internship program, OSVS receives applications from all across the country. Applicants enter into a competitive "match" system and are selected based on their academic achievements and clinical performance.

The Residency Programs at OSVS

In addition to our internship, OSVS is a training center for residents in both Emergency/Critical Care and Surgery. Our residents have already completed a high quality internship, and have been accepted into our highly competitive programs. The residencies consist of three years of high volume patient management, rigorous didactic training, teaching responsibilities, and publication of a research paper. At the end of the three years, the residents sit for a multi-day examination with a national specialty organization to achieve board-certification.

Veterinarians choosing to pursue specialty certification have not only completed four years of undergraduate college and four years of veterinary school, but an additional four years of advanced training during which they work many, many hours for compensation levels significantly below what they could earn if they went immediately into practice. Why do they do it? Because they have a true passion for veterinary medicine and what specialty medicine can offer to pets. You will recognize this from the moment you meet them.

Dr. St. Germaine graduated from Western University of Health Sciences in California and completed a rotating internship at OSVS. She made the decision to stay part of the OSVS team due to the strong mentorship, collaborative environment, and opportunities to help exotic companion animals. Her professional interests are in aquatic, comparative, and zoological medicine.

Dr. St. Germaine is a New England native and has been enjoying her time back on the east coast reconnecting with friends and family. Outside of the clinic, she volunteers with aquatic rehabilitation medicine (primarily with sea turtles and seals) and loves spending time with Dakota, an adventurous Australian Cattle Dog.

Dr. Wright received her bachelor’s degree in Wildlife Conservation and Biology from the University of Massachusetts. She then received her Master’s degree in Conservation Medicine from Tufts Cummings Veterinary School and then her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from the University of Illinois. Following graduation, she completed a rotating internship at Ocean State. She loved it so much that she stayed on as an ER doctor. Dr. Wright splits her time between OSVS and BSVES. She has a special interest in toxicology, exotic animal medicine, and infectious disease.

In her free time, Dr. Wright enjoys doing anything outdoors (hiking, kayaking, snowshoeing) with her fiancé and their two dogs, Remy the Catahoula and Mila the Aussie. Her cats, Nina and Syrax, have even been known to take a kayak ride or two! She also has an array of reptiles.
