These intern positions may be extended for a further 12 months, after successful completion of the first year. The positions are structured to provide international standard practical experience in applying knowledge gained during veterinary college in a supervised environment. The aim of the program is to prepare veterinarians with the skills and knowledge required to work in the Bach Ma Bear Rescue Centre or Vietnam Bear Rescue Centre and a position may be offered at either centre following completion of the training program.
