Expanding Horizons

For Cornell veterinary students interested in veterinary medicine in developing nations, Expanding Horizons offers a truly unique experience. Students may spend 6 to 10 weeks in developing nations working in veterinary research or hands on veterinary experiences. These experiences range from wildlife rehabilitation to working with local farmers to develop artificial insemination techniques for their dairy herds. Countries where students have traveled in the past include Ghana, Uganda, Madagascar, Thailand, Vietnam, Honduras, South Africa, and Kenya to name just a few. Students typically work with the faculty and the Office of Student and Academic Services to help identify contacts.
