This past month World Vets had a veterinary team in Arusha, Tanzania where we carried out a donkey welfare project. Our volunteers attended to hundreds of local working donkeys. They provided much needed routine veterinary care, in addition to treating wounds, fixing hooves, dental work, and donkey owner education. See more pictures
World Vets International Veterinary Medicine (IVM) Program is our official student program. It is a surgical and veterinary training program specifically for veterinary, pre-veterinary and technician students who wish to gain clinical as well as practical veterinary experience. In addition to surgical instruction (provided to veterinary students), students will participate in a multi-disciplinary veterinary program and cultural experience that not only will enhance their education, but will also give them a broader understanding of international veterinary medicine.
The IVM Program is typically held in Granada, Nicaragua at World Vets Latin America Veterinary Training Center. However, this summer it will be offered in Otavalo, Ecuador! The program will be run by the same great staff and the one on one veterinary training and experience will also be the same. See summer session dates and student vacancies here
It is now possible for you to use your Continuing Education (CE) allowance to participate on a World Vets project! We are currently offering a RACE-approved CE opportunity for licensed veterinarians and technicians as part of our International Veterinary Medicine (IVM) Program. What better way to volunteer, learn and earn RACE-approved credit!
