A new program that World Vets has initiated this year, an International Veterinary Medicine (IVM) Program, is now well underway. This program is specifically geared towards students. It has been designed for those who are currently enrolled at an academic institution in pre- veterinary, veterinary and/or veterinary technician related studies.
Simply put, World Vets IVM Program provides students with the opportunity to experience veterinary medicine in a foreign country. As part of this progra
m, students have the opportunity to not only learn new skills but be able to put those newly acquired skills to work. Students are involved in multiple clinical environments performing duties related to sterilization surgery as well as health clinics providing health exams and preventative care, in addition to field opportunities with horses.
Furthermore, this program also seeks to inspire its student participants to continue to give back to the international animal community once they have completed their studies.
Our IVM program is based o
ut of our Latin American Surgical Training Center in Granada, Nicaragua. It is fully equipped with all modern equipment such as gas anesthesia, central oxygen, pulse oximeters and fluid pumps. We’d like to extend our many thanks to Fondation Brigitte Bardot for their support of this center.
The services that are provided during this program are provided free of charge to community animals in need of veterinary assistance. To read more about this program, please click here
