Vets at LSPCA Vets working at Lilongwe Society for the Protection and Care of Animals Looking for an exceptional clinical veterinary placement? Africa Vet Experience offers an unrivalled opportunity to improve your diagnostic and surgical skills in Malawi - ‘the warm heart of Africa’. The highly practical course offers invaluable work experience with small animals, farm animals and equines. The animals you can expect to work with include: dogs, cats, goats, chickens, pigs and donkeys. The Africa Vet Experience programme is delivered by the Lilongwe Society for the Protection and Care of Animals (LSPCA), in partnership with the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA, UK) and Worldwide Veterinary Service (WVS). Africa Vet Experience logoThe Africa Vet Experience programme is centred around our community veterinary clinics, so you will be making a real contribution to the treatment of animals that would never otherwise see a vet. You will also spend time at the new LSPCA clinic and learn how we make the best use of the veterinary resources available. There will be opportunities to experience Malawi’s wildlife during an overnight stay in a national park. Our in-depth lecture programme complements and supports the clinical work. Download our brochure In addition to presentations on surgical techniques, the programme includes ‘shelter medicine’, ‘the role of vets in reintroduction programmes’, ‘the role of vets in animal welfare’ and case studies of specific tropical diseases. Lecture notes will be provided. Africa Vet Experience is an adventurous experience of a lifetime as well as an innovative, fully supported way to develop your clinical skills. Participation in this course also supports LSPCA’s vital on-going work to deliver free veterinary services in low-income communities. Why go for anything less?
