The Compulsory Supervised Internship (ISC), realized for the conclusion of the Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine course, was developed in two stages. The first stage it was made at the UFMG Veterinary Hospital and the second at the Olinda Veterinary Clinic. Among patients followed, an 8-month-old canine patient with dilated cardiomyopathy in all cardiac chambers was selected to have the case reported in this study. The performance of the ISC promoted personal improvement, as it enabled social contact between professionals and tutors. In addition, it allowed associating the theoretical knowledge acquired in the undergraduate course with the practice of the profession, being, therefore, a step of fundamental importance for the completion of the Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine course.
