Volunteers Around the World- Veterinary Outreach Texas A&M
About This Organization
- Abbreviation(s):
- VAW-TAMU
- Purpose:
- Volunteers Around the World- Veterinary Outreach provides interns with an opportunity to work first hand with experienced local veterinarians in some of the most poverty-stricken communities. Interns will fundraise for medications and supplies prior to the trip abroad. While in-country, interns will assist the veterinarians with performing physical exams, giving vaccines, performing surgeries, deworming animals and assessing general health and well-being. All intern activities are under the direct supervision of a licensed veterinarian. This is an intensive internship, valuable to future veterinarians, veterinary technicians and other future healthcare providers as well as those interested in seeing what it is like to work in a developing country. The internship is focused on giving interns a variety of experiences, deepening their understanding of the veterinary field, and broadening their global view.
