Program Description:
Learn and practice clinical skills at a cat rescue and spend a week volunteering in sea turtle conservation!

The Bali Pre-Vet and Wildlife Conservation two-week program puts you alongside a veterinarian whose job is to teach you so you can learn and practice new skills while helping animals in need.

Work in a cat shelter with a clinic on-site and learn clinical skills including physical exams, blood draws, suturing, skin scrapes, and shadowing and assisting in spay and neuter surgeries.

Spend one week at a sea turtle conservation organization learning about and helping in the conservation of sea turtles. Evenings and weekends are filled with fun activities such as street markets, scenic rice terraces and waterfalls, snorkeling, and more.
