Our team has been the first Zimbabwe-based turnkey provider of cross-cultural exchanges through volunteering, and internship placements at matched organisations.
The pre-vet internship abroad programme is uniquely designed with vet, pre-vet, vet tech, vet nurses and broader animal science students with strong interest in wildlife medicine and conservation in mind. If you are keen to develop your clinical skills, including patient intake, physical examination, compiling medical records, diagnoses, interpreting test results, then selecting and administering treatment; this programme is definitely for you!
You will work alongside professional vets and vet nurses between several sites, including a 24-hour vet clinic, a wildlife rescue & rehabilitation sanctuary, a dairy farm as well as at a vet lab. It is the perfect internship to learn about veterinary science (animal care), hands-on wildlife healthcare experience, assisting in surgical procedures, and outreach clinics in local communities. Interaction with local villages and communities educating them on animal-human relations, rescue and transfer of injured, abused or orphaned animals from around the surrounding areas as well as ambulatory vet work on local farms.
Some of the topics covered during the internship that carry transferable credit include: animal behaviour and reproduction; practical wildlife learning (animal, bird monitoring/surveys), and environmental audits), bush and wildlife theory (ecology, outdoorsmanship); small animal care (prepare food and bottle feed orphans and reptiles, clean enclosures, clean wounds), habitat enrichment (construction of activity centres for primates, and making toys to stimulate foraging).
