The Costa Rica Wildlife and Conservation Management study abroad program will give students a hands-on opportunity to work with Central American Wildlife at a rescue center that rehabilitates wildlife and cares for unreleasable animals. Some of the species that students will work with may include, sloths, coatis, kinkajous, armadillos, capuchin monkeys, macaws, owls, turtles, and lizards. Students will shadow veterinarians in the wildlife hospital on-site, perform physical exams and other preventative medicine, work on goal-oriented enrichment projects, and help with volunteer tasks including preparing and delivering meals and cleaning enclosures. Loop Abroad veterinarians will deliver veterinary and conservation lectures and lead several veterinary labs and workshops. Students will gain insight into the challenges of a busy wildlife rehabilitation facility and be inspired by the role veterinarians can play in the conservation and animal welfare of wildlife species.
