Have you ever thought about creating a social work internship at your animal hospital, but don’t know where to start? Or maybe you’re already running one, and you’re looking for more ways to cultivate a meaningful experience for your students? In this session we’ll start from the basic 101s on how to build a program to how to maintain a well-oiled veterinary social work internship program! This will in turn not only aid your hospitals with additional social work support, but will also help educate the future generations of social workers.
