Zoology & Wildlife Sciences Internships in Costa Rica

The checklist online was really useful for making sure I had completed all of the tasks before I left. I enjoyed the most giving tours to tourists around the mariposario. I think I gained confidence and communication skills that will be extremely useful further on in my career. I also improved my Spanish a lot of I look forward to working on it when I am home and using it for a future job.

I had a great laboratory team who were always willing to explain (via Google Translate!) the different tests and experiments they conduct. This internship has greatly enhanced my understanding of the techniques used in clinical laboratories that contribute to the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of disease. I feel more empowered to be successful in my field as I was able to shadow important laboratory techniques in person, thus gaining a higher understanding of how they are carried out and their purpose(s).
