Beginning of the journey
Since I was a young kid, I wanted
to become a veterinarian; and I
could refer that to my life growing
up alongside dogs and cats at
home. I was determined and got
myself into the veterinary
medicine department in the
university.
Since I started my studies as a
veterinary student at An-Najah
National University in Palestine, I
always wanted to improve myself
in the direction of small animal
medicine and surgery. There is a
big change which is rising up in my
community towards small animals
and their health. So, I was very
interested in taking a part of an
internship abroad to develop and
invest my training and education
into helping dogs and cats as
much as I could and to improve the
treatment of these animals.
So the plan was to do an
internship after I finish my fourth
year of study which would be by
the time of summer 2015, IVSA
was my door to be able to achieve
that.
In early 2015, I began looking up
for chances to find an opportunity
for my internship abroad. I am
happy that I had the help from the
exchange officer of IVSA Brno –
Alexandra Bulkova – who got me
in contact with multiple places in
Brno that offer internships in the
field I am interested in. At the
same time I had applied for the
MAH-IVSA scholarship grant and
had put all my faith into it.

In the end, I got the long expected
email, I had been granted the
MAH-IVSA Scholarship and travel
program. And everything went
even better by the reply of Jaggy
Clinic for small animals to my
request and they were happy to
have me on their clinic for the
internship.
After all the arrangements, I
started my journey on 30th of June
by arriving at Prague airport, then
transportation to Brno city by bus
where the clinic is. It’s been a long
trip but it was very rewarding to
arrive to clinic by the end.
Jaggy clinic had a floor for resident
doctors in which I had my
accommodation arranged there.
Upon arrival, which was after 4
pm, I was welcomed by the
