It's a great way to enhance a resume! In addition to providing students with hands-on experience and a developed sense of the Veterinary Science discipline on a global scale, international internships can significantly improve prospects for employment and graduate school applications. With 2010 just around the corner, AIDE is accepting applications for the Spring, Summer, and Fall semesters.
 Work in the Australian Outback: Participants will receive hands-on experience with rural farm animals. Our Work Outback program will place you in a paid position in a small town in the Australian Outback, where you will work with horses, cattle, or sheep. This is ideal training for students who wish to apply to Vet school! After a five-day orientation on a working farm, where you will learn new skills involving the care of cattle and horses, you will ultimately select the right job for you.
 Veterinary Assistant in Ecuador: Interns will spend the majority of their time working side-by-side with the veterinarian in a domestic animal practice (dogs, cats, birds, etc.), but there will be occasional opportunities to travel around Ecuador to treat wild animals living in shelters, where the vet also spends some of his time.
 Animal Rescue and Rehabilitation in Costa Rica: The goal of these animal sanctuaries is to re-introduce endangered species to their natural habitat. The facilities provide rehabilitation for injured and abandoned animals. Interns help feed and socialize the animals, assist veterinarians with medical procedures, build and repair enclosures, and work with the sanctuary on any other ongoing projects. Animals include monkeys, sloths, porcupines, anteaters, alligators, and turtles.
Application Deadline: Depending on the program you are applying for, we recommend that you apply two to three months in advance.
Application Process: Fill out and submit your application
Placement Process: After we receive your application, we will contact you to schedule a telephone interview and orientation session.
