My Nonprofit Reviews

As I approached retirement in 2013, I knew that I wanted to do something to help animals in need. I had zero veterinary background. I heard about World Vets online and decided to attend one of their 7 day International Vet Medicine (IVM) courses at their training facility in Granada, Nicaragua. That IVM experience convinced me to go back to school to become a Licensed Veterinary Technician (LVT) at 60 years of age! Their program, coupled with the positive and encouraging attitude of the staff, helped me quickly build confidence in clinical skills. On day 1 I had no idea how to restrain an animal. By day 7 I was placing IV catheters and monitoring anesthesia for over 25 patients - amazing progress that I soon realized is the norm for student progression under the World Vet training system. I have since attended an additional IVM course while attending Vet Tech school - it made a world of difference in my success in that program! I'm currently serving as an LVT at a non-profit, high volume spay/neuter clinic. I attribute much of my success primarily to what I learned from and my overall experiences with World Vets! Bottom line - they are just Awesome! I look forward to working another spay/neuter project with them!! :)
