Shadowing Animal Care Professionals at Rescues, Sanctuaries and Veterinary Clinics
In the bustling city of Milan and its surroundings, aspiring veterinarians will find a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of animal sanctuaries and clinics that specialize in the rescue, rehabilitation, and care of various species.
Students will embark on an unforgettable journey through sanctuaries like Progetto Cuori Liberi, Fattoria Capre e Cavoli, and Vita da Cani, and learn from the dedicated professionals at Clinica Veterinaria Europea.
While in rescues our fellows will have the chance to shadow specialized veterinarians and have some hands-on experience with their guidance, at the veterinary clinic hosting physiotherapy, rehabilitation and sports medicine center, they will delve into advanced veterinary practices.
