Eligibility Requirements
Suitable for students and recent graduates with at least one year of relevant college/university study in a related field, such as Veterinary Medicine, Animal Science, etc.
Suitable for students at a beginner - A1 and A2 - Spanish language level (recommended Spanish language education for 2 or more years). With the exception of fluent or native Spanish language speakers, all interns are required to attend 20 hours of mandatory Spanish language lessons for the first week of this internship, before commencing the internship placement. This is included in the program fee. Additional Spanish lessons are optional but recommended and are not included.
Internship Details
This internship opportunity provides interns scope to collaborate and learn from local professionals, who strive to provide the best possible care to animals. If you are passionate about animals, come prepared to assist with day-to-day routine medical care, gaining a deeper understanding of veterinary practice, while building your practice experience.
Practical activities are typically related to assisting with appointments, diagnosis, rehabilitation, surgery, post-surgery care and even feeding, bathing, and administering treatments. All internships in Argentina require a strict commitment and high level of responsibility - attributes that are certainly crucial for careers related to animal care!
To support interns with both cultural and language integration, this internship program includes 20 hours of mandatory Spanish language lessons, which must be undertaken during the first week of the chosen internship duration. If you are already an intermediate or native Spanish language speaker, you may be permitted to skip the language lessons and commence the internship placement directly. However, this will be confirmed on-site, upon review of your ability. All program coordinators speak English, in addition to all direct internship supervisors. However, a genuine effort to interact with the Spanish language is essential, in order to help surmount any other language barriers, with a positive mindset.
Internships in Argentina also include Intercultural Competency Seminars. These are conducted in Spanish but English language support is available, to ensure understanding.
