The Belize Wildlife & Referral Clinic (BWRC)Â offers open-enrollment veterinary courses for veterinary, vet-tech and qualified pre-vet students. In Summers, BWRC offers 1 month sections of Summer Veterinary Experience. The Summer Veterinary Experience includes two courses;Â Wildlife Medicine & Conservation and Small Animal Veterinary Experience (SAVE). The Summer Veterinary Experience is ideal for final year vet students seeking externship or clinical rotations, and first and second year students seeking hands on experience and an introduction to a range of diverse veterinary topics. During Wildlife Medicine & Conservation, students join the BWRC veterinary team for a two week course at the clinic and in the field with wildlife projects around Belize and the region. During SAVE, students are introduced to essential clinical skills which they then put to use during community health and spay & neuter clinics in communities around Belize.
