Erasmus internship: Veterinary

In the field of veterinary medicine, professionals continuously strive to perfect and enhance their skills. Whether in surgery, preventive care, diagnostics, or advanced animal care techniques, it is essential to stay at the forefront of innovations and new practices.

What is a Veterinary Erasmus Internship?

A veterinary Erasmus internship is a unique opportunity to discover different working methods, allowing you to improve and stand out. This type of internship not only helps in acquiring advanced technical skills but also in developing a global perspective on veterinary practices.

Objectives of the Veterinary Erasmus Internship

The main objectives of this Erasmus mobility are:

• Discovering the methods and techniques of neighboring countries
• Immersing oneself in the daily life of a Spanish veterinarian
• Developing language skills
• Broadening the vision of the veterinary field

Funding for the Veterinary Erasmus Internship

The veterinary Erasmus internship benefits from partial financial support through the Erasmus+ program, which helps institutions cover the costs associated with the mobility they organize for their apprentices. In addition to this primary aid, institutions can also seek additional funding from various organizations or local authorities. This approach aims to maximize the accessibility and enrichment of the international experience for apprentices.

To illustrate the opportunities offered by an Erasmus+ internship in Spain, here is the 

testimony of two Polish apprentices.

Student Profiles

Piotr and Sylwia, originally from Poland, are specializing in veterinary medicine. Driven by the desire to learn new things, they are experiencing their first mobility abroad. From the beginning, these naturally curious students were eager to develop new knowledge and skills.

Internship Destination

Thanks to its network of companies, Espamob placed these two young people, Piotr and Sylwia, in a veterinary clinic renowned for its expertise in Barcelona. For a month, they worked alongside specialists in the field in Spain.

Internship Missions

• Assistance in consultations
• Observation and learning
• Maintenance and management of equipment
• Care for hospitalized animals (injections)
• Assistance in surgery

Internship Results

Piotr and Sylwia are more than satisfied with their experience in Barcelona. They discovered a working environment completely different from what they were used to, in terms of cleanliness, infrastructure, and workload. This mobility allowed them to compare Polish and Spanish practices, making the experience even more enriching.

Advantages of the Veterinary Erasmus Internship

By choosing to do an internship in Spain as part of the Erasmus+ program, you can enjoy many professional and personal advantages:

• Exposure to a diversified professional environment: Working in a veterinary clinic or hospital abroad allows apprentices to see how veterinary services are organized and managed in different cultural and regulatory contexts, thus enriching their overall understanding of the profession.
• Strengthening autonomy and confidence: Being away from their familiar environment and having to adapt to a new professional setting can enhance apprentices’ autonomy and confidence, giving them the opportunity to develop skills to handle new or challenging situations.
• Development of interpersonal and intercultural skills: Interacting with colleagues and clients in a multicultural environment helps apprentices develop crucial interpersonal and intercultural skills, which are essential for effective communication.
• Learning new techniques and technologies: Apprentices may be exposed to equipment and techniques that are not yet widely used or available in their home country, significantly enriching their technical training.
