Floating Doctors is a team of veterinarians, physicians, nurses, public health specialists, and students that provides primary care, advanced care, education, and community development to remote rural indigenous communities in Bocas del Toro, Panama. With few resources and little access to care, there is an overwhelming need within these communities for veterinary medicine and animal husbandry education.

Floating Doctors offers an exceptional opportunity for veterinary medical students to experience tropical medicine and its unique diseases, practice in a practical, hands-on setting, and provide much-needed care and education to impoverished populations. Students also enjoy a rare glimpse into the life of the Ngobe people and an unparalleled opportunity for cultural exchange.

We are pleased to provide services to the communities year-round, and students are welcome at any time and for any length of stay in one-week intervals.
