Great experience
August 06, 2024by: Effie RothProgram: Australia 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 in the activities. I highly recommend the program for all students interested in vet medicine.
