Montserrat Armero - Colombia

I chose to complete a 3-week externship with the Universidad CES in Envigado, Colombia which is a town that borders the large city of Medellín. My mother emigrated from Colombia in the 1980’s due to the safety concerns that she experienced at the time. This trip gave me the opportunity to reconnect with my heritage, offering new personal and professional relationships.

Melody Bastani - Costa Rica

As part of my 2024 summer, I had the opportunity to spend the month of July at the Toucan Rescue Ranch in Costa Rica. The Toucan Rescue Ranch is a wildlife rescue center committed to the rehabilitation and release of the vast species native to Costa Rica as well as non-native species that have found their way into Costa Rica. These animals are brought to the Toucan Rescue Ranch by environmental government agencies that either confiscate the animals from illegal trafficking/ownership situations or collect injured animals found and reported by locals.

Ishwinder Battoo - Malawi

This past summer, I had the incredible opportunity to spend three weeks in Malawi, a beautiful country in Southeast Africa. During my stay at the Lilongwe Wildlife Center, Malawi’s only wildlife sanctuary, I gained invaluable hands-on clinical experience and conducted research alongside veteran wildlife veterinarians.

My global experience explored the different cultures and veterinary work styles in Ireland, Scotland, and England. Through living and conversing with people from other English speaking countries, I was able to fully immerse myself in the experience to gain a deeper appreciation for the intricacies of their cultures.
