The Supervised Professional Technical Internship (ETPS) provides students with the opportunity to acquire new knowledge, practice and improve the theoretical knowledge obtained during their degree in Veterinary Medicine, together with professional advancement in the area chosen for professional practice. The ETPS was carried out in two different locations, concentrated in the areas of Equine Medical and Surgical Clinic, under the academic guidance of Prof. Dr. Adriana Costa da Motta. The first stage was carried out at Clínica Veterinária Guadalupe (CVG), specialized in horses, located in the municipality of Nova Santa Rita – RS, in two distinct periods, during the period from July 10, 2023 to August 25, 2023 and after, from October 9th to November 3rd, 2023, totaling 424 hours, under local guidance from specialist veterinarian Guilherme Alberto Machado. At this stage, it was possible to experience the routine of equine clinic and surgery, assisting and carrying out various procedures such as internal and external clinical care, ultrasound, radiography, magnetic resonance imaging, various physiotherapy modalities, surgical procedures and management of hospitalized animals. The second stage of the ETPS was carried out at the Department of Veterinary Surgery and Animal Reproduction, at the Universidade Estadual Paulista “Júlio de Mesquita Filho” (UNESP), in the area of ​​large animal surgery, located in the city of Botucatu – SP, during the period September 1st to 30th, 2023, totaling 168 hours, under the local supervision of Prof. Dr. Marcos Jun Watanabe. The activities carried out were mainly related to the area of ​​large animal surgery, with an emphasis on horses, consisting of clinical examinations, monitoring the evolution of cases, complementary examinations and the containment and management of hospitalized animals.
