Great program great support
August 06, 2024by: Paisley ChristianProgram: Australia High School Pre-Vet Wildlife MedicineBest vet program I have ever joined. The entiee social space and support was overwhelmingly wonderful. My favorite activity was actually the necropsy because it gave me a better sense of working hands-on. All of the staff made my experience so special!

August 06, 2024by: Rayna AriasProgram: Australia High School Pre-Vet Wildlife MedicineThis was a great experience! Not only did I learn a ton about animals, but I also made new friends and had a lot of fun visiting the tide pools at Terrigal, throwing a boomerang, and doing the scavenger hunt. I highly recommend this program for all students interested in vet medicine
