Get externship credit in Costa Rica! Wild Sun Rescue is now taking applications for 2020.
Our 4-week vet student externship focuses on the veterinarian’s role in conservation medicine. Follow our vets as they treat injured wildlife and give support to 2 very different yet interrelated conservation initiatives. You will participate and learn from a wildlife rescue center and a Scarlet Macaw reintroduction program on the same site. Our goal is to inspire you to be a voice for conservation and to show you how, as a future veterinarian, you can make a difference in saving wildlife and their habitats in all corners of the world.
Wild Sun Rescue Center works closely with howler monkeys and capuchins, but often sees anteaters, parrots, iguanas, coatis, pacas, kinkajous, woolly opossums and more.

Gigi’s is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2018 dedicated to improving the lives of shelter dogs. Gigi’s leads a collaborative resource network within the dog sheltering community to improve the health and well-being of shelter dogs and increase efficiencies within the network – all to help more dogs and more organizations in more communities.
Fourth-year veterinary students will spend two weeks at Gigi’s campus in Central, OH and traveling to Shelter Partners in Southern Ohio learning about shelter medicine and live animal transportation. Longer rotations may be approved on a case to case basis. During this time, they will be supervised by Gigi's veterinarians and will be working alongside all of Gigi's team members to learn all facets of our organization. Ideally, students should have their Small Animal Surgery rotation before coming to Gigi’s.
The student will be exposed to private small animal medicine along with some exotics and pocket pets including a few skunks and pigs. We are a fast paced appointment based cozy clinic utilizing all staff to their fullest capabilities. We also take client drop offs and handle ctitical emergencies if one happens to walk in. We run 20- 30 minute appts and have surgery on Mondays and Tuesdays. We also practice fear free.
People, Pets and Vets offers elective internship and externship experiences at our 30+ veterinary hospitals.
