Belize Wildlife and Referral Clinic Wins $25,000 to Provide Critical Care to Rare & Endangered Wildlife!
 The Belize Wildlife and Referral Clinic (BWRC) plans to make a profound contribution to wildlife conservation, animal welfare and public health for an entire developing country. BWRC is the only wildlife medical facility providing critical services to many rare and endangered wildlife species. By providing key equipment and services BWRC will serve not only as the national wildlife clinic, but a referral clinic for veterinarians whose clinics are markedly under-equipped.
Prize money will help fulfill their medical facility with key equipment for rescuing and treating injured, diseased, orphaned or confiscated wildlife. BWRC will also provide veterinary training for students and professionals through continuing education opportunities, educate the public about wildlife, and support wildlife research.

 Locust Trace Veterinary Clinic claims $5,000 2nd Place Prize to assist students in pursuing their veterinary goals!
At the Locust Trace Veterinary Clinic, high school students who participate in the program have the education, experience, and motivation necessary to pursue their goals. Working in an environment of excellence, students will understand the practical application of the sciences they are studying in their classes and have access to the best equipment available. In addition, live-feed video cameras will project surgeries, exams, treatments or procedures to individual classrooms or lecture halls as requested by teachers. These videos will be stored and cataloged for future use.
Prize money will build this program further, serving as a prototype to be implemented in other communities. The success of this program should inspire other school districts around the nation to explore ways they can begin to utilize these ideas to advance the veterinary profession.
