Learn to draw blood, apply sutures and perform diagnostic tests. Assist with local spay/neuter programs. Plus attend lectures on topics such as anatomy, immunology, diagnostics, pathology and animal nutrition. Class dismissed? Hit the beach to snorkel on vibrant coastal reefs or soak up the rich culture and natural beauty. After all, this is the Caribbean.
