Exotics Veterinary Pathology Internship (Online)

Work directly alongside a wildlife veterinarian at a Belizean clinic in this veterinary pathology program. Intern remotely for a state-of-the-art, on-site clinic at a center respected locally as a leader in pathological disease assessment, treatment, and research.

The main objective of the internship is for you to understand and learn the pathological changes occurring in tissues and organ systems and how such changes provide the basis for clinically manifested diseases. You will have opportunities to apply concepts you have learned in cellular biology, anatomy, and physiology. You will understand the occurrence, development, and progression of pathological changes in body systems and individual organs, relating their morphology at gross (macroscopic) and microscopic levels to clinically recognizable functional defects and disease states.

The focus is on understanding the principles and patterns of pathology by seeing them in real-time. You will be exposed to practical examples of disease processes. This internship provides a foundation in pathophysiology and a link between biology concepts and their clinical applications.
