Literal Trip of a Lifetime

The VIDA Veterinary trip I took to Costa Rica and Panama was one of the most rewarding, eye-opening, and exciting trips I have ever been on. The staff, especially our coordinator, seemed to know everyone everywhere we went which made the culture shock of visiting Central America that much easier. The veterinary trip was one full of challenge and education and will make me a better veterinarian (knock on wood) for having been a participant. To my knowledge, vet schools look very favorably on the VIDA Veterinary volunteers because it shows that we are driven to help animals, and willing to step out of our comfort zones to do so. My VIDA trip was a phenomenal veterinary and cultural experience balled into one, and is a trip that I will never forget! Thanks VIDA!
