Rural Area Veterinary Services
RAVS provides free spay/neuter/vaccination clinics for underserved communities in the U.S. and Central and South America. It's truly a trial by fire, as you're thrown into a hectic clinic environment, and they expect you help in whatever capacity you're comfortable. There is always plenty of work to be done in intake, induction, anesthetic monitoring, recovery, and checkout. It's challenging work, but very rewarding.
