Internships in Argentina

I enjoyed learning about the health system in another culture and also being able to get to know more about the culture through our host parents as well as improve our Spanish through daily conversations with them.

During my veterinary internship in Malawi, I had the chance to be fully immersed in the daily care of a wide range of animals from administering medication and feeding, to assisting with clinical check-ups on monkeys under anesthesia. We also took part in necropsies to better understand causes of death, and even joined the vet team in the field for zebra relocation operations, aimed at increasing genetic diversity between reserves. It was an intense and eye-opening experience that gave me real insight into wildlife veterinary work and conservation challenges. Beyond the technical skills, I learned a lot about local practices and wildlife management strategies. The team was incredibly welcoming and made us feel supported from day one. I’d absolutely recommend this placement, the learning environment is exceptional, the tasks are meaningful, and the overall atmosphere is both warm and inspiring. RealStep was also a huge help throughout the preparation phase; they were always available and made the whole process smooth and reassuring
