Veterinary Science (Wildlife/Animal Care) Internships

This IGS internship is a blessing in disguise. I had a lot of family problems this year; so I decided to have some time alone and so decided to apply for IGS. I have little background on veterinary medicine but I aspire to be a veterinarian soon. We assisted with taking vital statistics of the animals, and fed them, and even bathed some of them. The calming atmosphere is so refreshing and it made me rethink my life perspective. All I can say is I am a lot happier now, and I am now on my first year of Vet Med.

What I loved about our internship, is the post-surgery work that includes rehabilitation and integrating animals back to their families. I can see how happy these animals are when they are reunited with their family... It makes my heart melt hihi. Ms. Foyer was my mentor and she was like a mom to me. I never felt alone in this entirely different country. My fellow interns are like my sisters and brothers, and always willing to extend a helping hand when I need one. Thanks guys!

in my internship with IGS, I assisted with anesthetics, surgical scrubbing, and other technical procedures..... we are given fun lectures and on-hand experiences on animal rearing, husbandry, breeding, and product development........ the scope of veterinary medicine is extensive, as it covers domesticated and wild animals...... i am happy that I took this internship....... my friends already signed up for next summer.....

As a freshman VetMed student, this internship was a great overview of the whole VetMed course. We had up close and personal look at different aspects of the practice, and I super enjoyed animal surgery. It was also initially a “testing the waters” experience for me, to determine if I really wanted to be a veterinarian. Since we are exposed to real-world issues and concerns of pet and animal-lovers, I realized that I share the same care on the animals as their owners. I am sure now that I am born for this profession!

Just a quick review of the vet med program of IGS – it is worth it guys. You should try it out. Made friends here, and we did a lot of fun stuff. Great work to the IGS team. Legendary, as Barney says in American series.

Working with Jasmine and her staff at the Dog Daycare was great. They are super friendly and supportive. The location was right in the heart of a really cool suburb with tons of restaurants to sample. They had me walk the dogs twice a day and oversee the “pack” upstairs. My job was to keep them under control and to settle down the dogs if they got too excited. As a dog owner this was right up my alley. Just being around that many different breeds you get to learn a lot about how they are similar and different.
