Everything was more than I expected it to be!
December 03, 2020by: Alanna Wildman - United StatesProgram: Veterinary Medicine Skills Experience in South Africa
I cannot begin to express how incredible this opportunity was from arrival to departure. Sharon answered any and all question I had prior to pursuing this trip and welcomed me at the airport with warm open arms, making me feel at home and as comfortable as possible during my stay. More importantly, the experience I gained from this trip was invaluable. Working with an animal welfare in Knysna introduced me to the cultural differences within veterinary medicine and exposed me to the importance of client communication and animal care in an underserved community. This experience provided me with a perspective of veterinary medicine I would have never received within the US, emphasizing the importance of embodying an open-mindset within this profession. The staff I had the opportunity to work with allowed me to have as much hands-on experience as possible with examinations, diagnostics, and surgical procedures. I truly cannot recommend this experience enough! Everything about it was more than I expected it to be!
Had an amazing time

I was at Knysna veterinary clinic for a month and I had an amazing experience. I learned so much from the veterinarians working there! Sharon was so fun to see everyday, and she takes you to the best places at and around Knysna. I made lifelong friends and can't wait to be back (especially to see Sharon!)
