World Vets develops, implements and manages international veterinary and disaster relief programs to help animals, educate people and have a positive impact on communities. Improving animal welfare and alleviating suffering are high on our priority list but our work extends beyond that. Our programs help to prevent the spread of diseases from animals to humans; our livestock programs help small farmers to pull themselves out of poverty, and our disaster relief efforts for animals directly impact people who might otherwise remain in dangerous situations if the needs of their animals are not addressed.
One of our established programs is the Iternatioanl Veterianry Medicie (IVM) Program. The IVM Program is World Vets student program for veterinary, pre - veterinary and technician students who wish to gain clinical as well as practical veterinary experience. As part of this program we have both short and long term opportunities for veterinarians to work one on one with English speaking veterinary students in surgery. This program is based out of World Vets Latin American Veterinary Training Center located in Granada, Nicaragua. Sessions are typically scheduled for a one week duration and are offered 12 weeks out of the year. Read more about the volunteer instructor experience here

Description
help animals, educate people and have a positive impact on communities. Improving animal welfare and alleviating suffering are high on our priority list but our work extends beyond that. Our programs help to prevent the spread of diseases from animals to humans; our livestock programs help small farmers to pull themselves out of poverty, and our disaster relief efforts for animals directly impact people who might otherwise remain in dangerous situations if the needs of their animals are not addressed.
World Vets recognizes the importance of the One Health concept in which health of humans, animals and their ecosystems are inextricably linked. Our programs help not only animals, but also people and the communities in which they live.
World Vets is able to improve the lives of thousands of animals each year by providing free veterinary care through our dedicated volunteer force of over 4,000 individuals combined with financial support and in-kind donations.
Our volunteers have a wide range of skill, expertise and experience. Our volunteer force is comprised of veterinarians, licensed and non licensed technicians, pre veterinary, veterinary and technician students, as well as those who are simply animal lovers. All our volunteers are passionate about helping animals and the desire to make a difference.
