Wildlife Underdogs led by Dr Daniel Wilfred (DVM) and Delaney Rodrigues, together with Persatuan Kebajikan Waja Setanah (WAVES) have jointly-organised a preparatory programme for potential veterinary students, sponsored by Institut Dato’ Onn, a Johor state government agency that focuses on Johor youth leadership.
Held at Paperwalls, Johor Bahru, the one-day workshop helped secondary school and pre-u students understand more about veterinary medicine, focusing on students aged 16 and above.
“The programme included lectures from experienced veterinarians on what to expect in the university, how to begin applications, what to study, a chance to practice basic ultrasound techniques and some fun with exotic animals. Certificates and meals were also provided,” said Delaney Rodrigues, co-founder of Wildlife Underdogs and CEO of Paperwalls event hall.
Speakers of the workshop include Wildlife Underdogs’ Co-Founder, Dr Daniel Wilfred (DVM), Dr Lee Ee Liang (DVM) and Dr Tan Check Nam (DVM).
