I am a recently graduated DVM from Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, which is accredited by the AVMA, I am also a Mexican citizen. I want to do an internship and residency in the US, but they tell me to be competitive enough to get the position I need to gain more experience in accredited AVMA institutions. I have no idea how I can get this experience in the US, where should I apply to or what should I do? any help?

Hi!

Depending on which field you wish to practice in, try applying for externships. Usually externships are for US vet students, but a lot of programs take in foreign grads as well.

Also, a lot of the internship programs require that you finish their externship program first. So basically, the externship would help you get your foot in the door.

contact UABC Mexicali, they have done this sort of thing to link Mexico University to private hospitals in the southern California.

Tomas Renteria is the Principal at the University.
