Veterinary Internship in Greece

Hi, my name is Monica and I am from Florida. I currently go to school at Florida Larkin University and hope to be a veterinarian one day. I chose this program because I love travelling and I hadn’t been to Greece before, so I wanted to experience Greece and all that it had to offer. I also love animals, so this program has taught me lots of skills and the experience of communicating with people even though I don’t speak Greek. The doctors here are very nice and always translate things for me and help me understand what’s going on and why they are treating those animals in certain ways. I also want to say how amazing the Cerca Abroad company is for helping me through all these experiences and finding different things to do while in Athens and exploring the culture and sightseeing and everything.

I am Abbie and I just finished my Bachelors degree in West Texas A&M, entering the vet school in the fall. I joined the internship here at Attica Park Zoo, for just for 4-weeks, one month and I am staying in Athens. I am here for about 2 weeks now, half way through, and I love it and I got to do a lot of different veterinary things. I have seen all kinds of veterinary things on animals, anything from darting animals with vaccines, sedating them and performing surgery and performing autopsies. The apartment that I stay at is really nice, it’s a one bedroom and it has anything you need to be by yourself. I got a lot of support from the zoo and the people from the program. I got to explore Athens and went sightseen from the Acropolis to Mt Parnitha and got to see wildlife in the zoo and in Athens
