This is a travel opportunity for students in two of the four veterinary colleges in Canada (Atlantic Veterinary College, and The University of Montreal).  The North American Mobility program is a program set up between the these two vet colleges in Canada, Iowa State Univ. and Tuskeegee Univ.in the US, and the University of Mexico and the University of Guadalajara in Mexico.
It is a school exchange that allows students the opportunity to experience veterinary medicine in a different country.  The main information page can be found at:

I just completed a 4 week exchange with the University of Guadalajara.  I was able to work on poultry farms, on ranches in rural Mexico, and at a specialized equine clinic.  I also took a week to volunteer with a conservation group off the west coast of Mexico that works to protect several species of sea turtles.  All in all, it was a great exchange.  I felt that it was much more of a cultural exchange than anything.  I id learn a little bit of vet medicine, but overall I came away with a greater understanding of the Mexican culture, the food and the drink.  I was able to work along side Mexican veterinarians and farm works, live with Mexican families, and see the side of Mexico that isn’t painted with a glossy tourist  coat.   I give this experience 10 out of 10 backpacks.
