Experiences

Recently, I successfully completed a two-month internship at the National Veterinary Hospital, an experience that significantly strengthened my academic foundation through extensive hands-on clinical exposure. During this period, I actively participated in a wide range of veterinary procedures, assisted in diagnostic and surgical cases, observed case management practices, and developed a deeper understanding of animal healthcare systems.

Students are placed in a diverse range of organizations across Bhutan, including:

  • Livestock farms and production units

  • Research and development centres
  • Government agencies under the livestock sector
  • Development projects and partner organizations
