May alok na internship program ang Quezon City government para veterinary medicine students mula sa ibat ibang unibersidad at kolehiyo sa Luzon.
Ayon kay Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte, kabilang sa mga alok na internship ang clinical practices kasama na ang animal care and adoption, rabies prevention and control, spay and neuter.
Iaalok din ayin kay Belmonte ang training positions on Food Hygiene and Meat regulation.
“Part of the curriculum of Veterinary Medicine is exposure to off-campus learning experiences. Through our comprehensive internship program, we hope to provide valuable hands-on and actual experience to soon-to-be veterinarians. Our QCVD will serve as their training ground until they graduate and practice their profession. Iba ang nagagawa ng actual practice bukod sa theories lang. Mas marami silang matututunan kung nahahasa sila ng husto habang nag-aaral pa,” pahayag ni Belmonte.
Nakipag-partner na rin ang QCVD sa mga unibersidad at kolehiyo para sa naturang programa.
Ayon kay City Veterinarian Dr. Ana Maria Cabel, iaalok din ang joint academics, research, training, at seminars.
“This will be the first time that an LGU is offering its services for the internship of soon-to-be veterinarians. Their school teaches them concepts, and the city will let them gain practical knowledge and skills that will complement their theoretical learning,” pahayag ni Cabel.
“It is a win-win situation for the students and for the city because we can further extend our services and at the same time provide them with necessary knowledge and skills that make a positive impact on the lives of the animals and contribute to the well-being of the residents and communities,” dagdag ni Cabel.
