Purdue University Veterinary Internship to Peru, May 2023

Melani's Message

All inhabitants of the world, no matter human or animal, deserve to have the resources they need to live and thrive healthily. I strive to have a career dedicated to helping animals and their environments around the world. As a volunteer of the VAW, I will be able to shadow veterinarians and help large numbers of animals receive much-needed medication. I aim to submerge myself within the local community and provide resources to these communities which will benefit them immensely. This experience will allow me to experience the culture and everyday lives of the locals. I am excited to be a volunteer and I cannot wait to meet new people, explore a new environment, and interact with the wildlife.

Volunteer Activity Description

Join the Purdue University Veterinary chapter as they lead a Veterinary Outreach Internship to Peru this upcoming Summer! interns will work in mobile clinics, where they will have the opportunity to take patient history, basic vital signs, shadow veterinarians, learn about the importance of different animals in locals lives and much more! If you’re interested in joining, contact us for more information!

VAW Global at Purdue University will be opening up mobile veterinary clinics for local communities as well as assisting at local animal care facilities during their time in Peru.

One of the most exciting and important parts of interning with VAW Global is bringing medication to the less fortunate. In 2019, VAW Global treated over 35,000 patients and we aspire to treat over 45,000 in 2022. One of the things that make our mobile clinics unique is that we not only triage and diagnose patients, but also provide them with the basic medications needed. Fundraising for medications is a huge part of creating a successful mobile clinic to help the local communities with effective care.
