Vet Nurse Volunteer China
Animals Asia can only accept
applications from volunteers trained in either veterinary science / vet nursing
or qualified in wild-animal management (volunteers will also be considered who
have a lot of experience working in the veterinary profession), as all hands on
work with the bears necessitates intensive training.
All veterinary volunteer placements
require a commitment of at least three months.
