The High School Veterinary Service Program runs for two weeks in Northern Thailand and is open to students between 14 and 18 years old. Your small group will be led by a veterinarian who will teach you hands-on skills as well as supervise your veterinary and clinical activities.

Spend one week at the Elephant Nature Park, the world-famous sanctuary for rescued elephants. You will help feed and bathe the animals and with the park's upkeep, and also have opportunities for veterinary rounds and contribution to elephant research.

The next week, you will spend each day at a dog shelter learning veterinary medicine skills and taking part in two spay or neuter surgeries on dogs or cats. In the evenings and over the weekend, fun cultural activities are included in your tuition. These include a meditation lesson with Buddhist monks, a full day of zip-lining through the jungle, shopping in the markets, eating at local restaurants, visiting temples and waterfalls, and just enjoying the city.

College credit and financial aid are available.
