Known affectionately in our office as ‘Dogs and Dolphins’, this program is the best of both worlds!
Maximize your two weeks in Costa Rica by combining small animal medicine and marine research.
This two-week program puts you alongside veterinarians and researchers whose job is to teach you so you can learn and practice new skills while helping animals in need. Work in a dog shelter or a dog clinic and learn clinical skills including blood draws, suturing, skin scrapes, and assisting in spay and neuter surgeries. Spend one week living at a dolphin research facility doing boat-based research on dolphin health and behavior. Your program will also include fun activities, such as ziplining!
This program is designed for university-aged students who are interested in becoming veterinarians or working professionally with animals. Participants must be at least 18 years old. Most are 18 to 25, but we also accept full-time undergraduates over 25. There are no pre-requisites for this program. You do not need to be in school currently to apply. Individuals of any nationality may apply.
Applicants should be comfortable working with animals and getting their hands, and everything else, dirty. This program can accommodate a maximum of 10 participants per session.
Summer 2024
May 26- June 8, 2024
June 9- June 22, 2024
*Subject to 1 days +/- on the schedule, includes travel days
Tuition is $4,350, not including airfare.
Tuition includes all program activities, all in-country transportation, and all program housing and meals.
Interest-free payment plans are available. Current college students may be able to use federal financial aid toward their tuition. Your space is not held until your $1,000 deposit (credited toward tuition) is paid.
Your tuition helps to support the partner projects where you will be working and studying.
This program is created with students who may want to apply to vet school in mind. For your application to vet school, the program provides approximately the following hours:
Veterinary Hours: 30
Animal Experience hours: 10
Research Hours: 40
Students can calculate their own record of hours for their VMCAS or other applications.
The strongest veterinary recommendation letter is from a vet who has known and worked with you for at least a year. However, you will have a chance to build a relationship with your Loop Abroad teaching vet who may be able to write you a recommendation if you impress them with your performance and are able to build on your experience after your program.
This program provides a total of 80 service hours. Loop Abroad is a certifying organization for the Presidential Volunteer Service Award, for which those hours are eligible.
A transcript for 2 college credits for this veterinary practicum experience is available for this program (optional; additional fee applies). You may also be able to get credit directly from your college or university for this program. If you are seeking credit from your college or university, please contact us for any assistance needed.

For programs starting after August 20, 2023, COVID-19 vaccinations are recommended, but they will no longer be required.
All participants must follow the Loop Abroad COVID policies, which include testing negative 2 days before travel, reporting symptoms if they arise during the program, masking or testing if asked to by staff, and isolating if you test positive.
Extend your stay in Costa Rica by combining this program seamlessly with one or more additional Loop Abroad programs in Costa Rica to stay for 4 or 6 weeks and make the most of your international flight and your time abroad.
4 weeks: The Costa Rica 4-week Experience combines this program with the Costa Rica Pre-Vet Wildlife Medicine program to allow you to get wildlife, exotics, and small animal veterinary hours as well as research hours on a wild dolphin research project.
6 weeks: The Costa Rica Pre-Vet Summer Semester is a 6-week summer semester perfect for students who are unable to take a full semester abroad during the year but want an immersive study abroad experience. This program offers the programs from the Costa Rica 4-week Experience with an additional two weeks working in sea turtle research at the coast.
In this two-week program, you’ll work and learn alongside veterinarians in a small animal medical setting and with researchers at a cetacean research facility. See wild dolphins up-close in your boat-based research in the Pacific Ocean, provide check-ups and procedures to dogs in need, and experience magnificent Costa Rica first-hand.
This program is divided into two weeks. In one week, students work with their veterinary leader to provide care to dogs in underserved areas outside of San Jose. Students will learn and practice clinical skills, including:
This week will also give you a chance to explore and learn a bit about Costa Rica, including
Note: the zipline equipment has a safety weight limit of 250lbs.
Students work in small groups performing physical exams and health checks, assisting with procedures and surgeries, and learning hands-on from the vet. Each day will have a lecture-style portion on site and a chance to put the skills learned into practice helping animals in need, culminating in one to two surgery days at the end of the week.
The other week is spent living and learning on the Gulfo Dulce on the Osa Peninsula, on the Pacific Coast about six hours from San Jose. This specially-designed research program gives you the opportunity to participate in ongoing research on wild dolphin populations in Gulfo Dulce.
You will be trained in the on-site research methods and goals, and participate in on-boat research of wild dolphins and sharks. Your time will be split between the boat and the lab, where research includes examining photographic data for photo ID processing and image analysis, necropsies of fish that the local dolphins eat to determine their health status and analyze stomach contents, collecting and analyzing biometric data, and lots of behavior sampling tracking a known population of dolphins.
*Please note: swimming with the dolphins is not permitted, and there are no captive dolphins on-site. This is a wildlife research project. Gulfo Ducle is home to tiger sharks, stingrays, crocodiles, and mangroves, so while it is a wonderful area for marine research, free swimming in the ocean is not permitted for safety reasons. We will have opportunities to swim together in safe beach areas during the program.
Note: Either the Dolphin research week or the San Jose week may come first in your itinerary.
Every program begins with a safety orientation. We’ll discuss how to stay safe and healthy during your time in Costa Rica. We’ll also discuss best practices for staying safe with all of the different species we will be interacting with, and staff will always be on hand to further instruct students regarding safe interactions with animals.
While most dogs are very friendly, some would rather be left alone. It is important to approach all dogs carefully. In order to safely interact with animals in a shelter and clinic setting, students and staff need to have an understanding of animal handling and behavior.
Staff and students will discuss animal behavior, including signs of anxiety, and animal handling and restraint before interacting with the dogs.
Your research will be capturing and analyzing data about wild dolphins and other marine life. You will not have physical contact with live dolphins – we believe in leaving wild animals in the wild. However, you will be able to see them VERY close from the boat throughout your work. It can be even more rewarding to watch the dolphins interacting with their natural environment from a distance because this is when their true personalities shine!
The research vessel will be captained by on-site project staff and exclusively for your Loop Abroad group. Your first full day on the project includes an orientation and safety training for participating in the program.
Students will always be accompanied by trained guides and volunteer coordinators who will instruct students in how to safely complete their wildlife research.
There are lots of ways to help fund your online and travel programs with Loop Abroad, and we are here to help!
