Bolivia (Small Animal CE)

Would you like to earn CE while serving internationally with CVM? We are offering a short-term mission trip with 16 hours of RACE CE! Spend a week in Bolivia learning from Drs. Kelly Crowdis and John Mauterer and gain valuable CE focused on small animal vet work in an international setting. Please read below for more details!

CE Speakers: Drs. Kelly Crowdis & John Mauterer

Dates: June 2-9, 2026

Veterinary Work/ CE Topics Covered: 5 Lectures and labs (16 hours) of interactive RACE CE
!
  • Cultural Sensitivities (1 hour) - Kelly Crowdis
  • Do I Bring My Own Medications or Not? (2 hours includes a field trip to vet pharmacy) - Kelly Crowdis
  • Techniques in Field Medicine and Surgery (spay/neuter) in Developing Nations for Small Animals (6 hours; 2-hour lecture, 4-hour wet lab) - John Mauterer
  • Techniques in Anesthesia in Developing Nations for Small Animals (5 hours; 2-hour lecture, 3-hour wet lab) - John Mauterer
  • Techniques in Post-Operative Care in Developing Nations of Small Animals (2 hours; 1-hour lecture, 1-hour wet lab) - Kelly Crowdis

Ministry Work: We will be working alongside local veterinarians and veterinary students from the university helping to build relationships and further the ministry of the long-term field workers serving in Bolivia. Also, we will be providing a spay/neuter clinic in a nearby local village where animal care is lacking, demonstrating the love of Jesus through veterinary medicine.

Max Group Number: 10 DVMs

Cost: $1,070 (not including airfare); Volunteers age 70+ will need to purchase their own insurance outside of CVM. For this reason, these volunteers will see a slight decrease in the CVM trip cost. If you do not have a Bolivian visa, an additional $160 needs hand-carried in cash for a visa.

Additional Information: We will be staying in the city and countryside at different locations. There will be one day of cultural activities.
