Of all of the clinics in which I have worked over the years, first as a veterinary technician and now as a veterinary student gaining clinical experience, among my favorites is the month I spent this Easter at the Abu Dhabi Falcon Hospital.
Known and visited by falconers from all over the world, this hospital has not only a clinic with a surgical suite, recovery wards, both isolation and critical care units, and flight cages, but also a laboratory that processes hundreds of samples a day, and a hatchery that breeds the next generation.
I was thrilled when I was accepted into their month-long internship in falcon medicine for veterinary students, veterinary nurses, and licensed veterinarians.
