My International Veterinary Experience: Costa Rica

Rachel LeMont, KSU CVM c/o 2024

As a veterinary student working towards a career in zoological medicine and conservation, I knew that I would need to get creative in gaining experience with a wide variety of species throughout my education. Most veterinary schools do not include exotics in their core curriculums (I mean, there really isn’t any room to squeeze it in there anyway), most zoo’s don’t take first year students as externs, and nothing beats seeing animals in their native habitats along with all of the struggles they face in those environments. These are the things that led me to apply to the internship program at Rescate Wildlife Rescue Center in Alajuela, Costa Rica. Rescate is a non-profit foundation dedicated to conserving Costa Rica’s wildlife, and they accomplish this by rehabilitating wildlife (the area I was able to help the most with), breeding endangered species, preserving habitat, and providing lifetime care.
