Courses and Hours

Veterinary injecting medicine to an animals together with her assistant.This program was designed with pre-vet students in mind. For your application to vet school (VMCAS), this program provides approximately the following hours

Veterinary Hours: 70 hours

Animal Experience Hours: 40 hours

Your group will have approximately 13 students, and there may be multiple groups in-country at the same time.

Students should calculate their own record of hours for their VMCAS or other applications based on their actual experience, but this is an estimate of what to expect.

The AVMA says “If you have the opportunity to work… for veterinarians who work with different species, that’s a bonus that can make you more appealing to a veterinary school admissions committee.” We’re proud to offer you that opportunity!

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 70 service hours. Loop Abroad is a certifying organization for the Presidential Volunteer Service Award, for which those hours are eligible.

Your tuition includes all your housing in Belize, airport transfers, all your academic activities and coursework, and all included program activities, including admission and transport. For the two weeks of the program that are based in large animal medicine, tuition includes breakfast, but does not include lunch and dinner. For those two weeks, evenings and weekends offer free time at your own flexible schedule and budget. For the one program week focused on wildlife and marine animals, all activities and meals are scheduled for you and included in your tuition.

Itinerary

Belize is a small, Central American country on the Caribbean Sea, just a 2-hour flight from Miami. Over fifty percent of Belize is covered by rainforest. This English-speaking country is home to a mix of cultures and offers fascinating opportunities to explore Maya sites, as well as caves, waterfalls, and beautiful beaches.

This three-week program gives you the chance to discover Belizean culture and nature while exploring different sides of animal science in the tropics: large animal veterinary medicine, wildlife conservation, and wildlmarine ecology.

For two weeks, you will learn about large animal veterinary medicine in the tropics, working with a veterinarian on local farms to learn about and help to care for animals such as horses, cows, pigs, sheep, and goats. Lectures will supplement field course activities so that you can understand the veterinary science behind each hands-on activity. Your program provides community veterinary funding, as it funds the veterinary visits and the supplies used, and also offers you insight into farming and large animal care practice and issues in tropical developing countries.

During these two weeks and over the weekend, you’ll have a chance to explore aspects of Belizean culture and its beautiful natural environment, including trying Belizean and Maya meals at lunches and dinners, and discovering Maya architecture and history at Xunantunich temple. You will have evenings and a weekend on your own (and at your own budget) for dinners with your classmates and to explore what Belize has to offer.

For the other program week, we will explore wildlife conservation, from terrestrial animals at the Belize Zoo to marine ecology. The Belize Barrier Reef is a 300km section of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System. It’s the second-largest coral reef system in the world after the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. It’s estimated that only ten percent of the species in the reef have been discovered.

The focus of this snorkel-based course days is to learn the key biotic and abiotic components of a coral reef system and how they interact.

Our wildlife week will include time at the Belize Zoo and other wildlife conservation projects to learn first-hand how wildlife conservation is thriving in Belize and how species such as tapir, howler monkeys, and jaguars are protected and researched both in the wild and in captivity. During this week, all meals and activities are included.
