VAW Global Health Alliances develops community health systems while providing interns the opportunity to work alongside experienced local healthcare professionals. VAW Global Veterinary Interns work closely with community partners to implement veterinary clinics, as well as provide assistance to existing animal shelters, across low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). In the Veterinary Outreach program, interns learn about healthcare in a global context. Through shadowing local veterinarians, interns will also learn about veterinary procedures, treatment courses, clinic operations, vaccinations, and deworming.

Interns will prepare for their trip throughout the year by attending team training sessions, participating in local community service projects, and developing team building activities, led by their Team Leader or Faculty Team Leader. Interns are required to attend trainings and workshops prior to their trip, so that they are well prepared upon arrival in country.

This is an intensive internship — valuable to future veterinarians, veterinary assistants, veterinary technicians, as well as other future healthcare providers, global practitioners, and anyone interested in gaining skills in public health while supporting healthcare systems around the world.
