EDUCATION
Veterinary Internships, Externships and clinical rotations
Join our team in Belize and gain professional experience in the field of wildlife medicine and conservation. BWRC internships offer a unique hands-on learning opportunity while contributing directly towards conservation in Belize. Our internships combine meaningful experiences with hands=on learning while contributing to the BWRC’s mission in Wildlife Conservation and Animal Welfare.
Note that our internships and courses are not just for vet-students. BWRC has hosted undergraduates, graduates, veterinarians, veterinary technicians and assistants, biology and wildlife students and sometimes “interested individuals”. If you care about animals, conservation and learning we encourage to to contact BWRC with your learning objectives and we will gladly see if this is a fit for an internship or a course.
