The Purdue International Veterinary Student Association (IVSA) birthed this international arrangement in spring 2016 by creating a conversation about a potential partnership for both a cultural and educational exchange. The following year, PVM hosted three exchange students from CU, while CU hosted a group of six PVM students led by Dr. Samuel Yingst, adjunct assistant professor in the Department of Comparative Pathobiology.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1671\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1671\" class=\"img-responsive img-thumbnail wp-image-1671 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/vet.purdue.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Study-Abroad_small-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"PVM students pictured with Thai students in Thailand\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vet.purdue.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Study-Abroad_small-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vet.purdue.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Study-Abroad_small-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vet.purdue.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Study-Abroad_small-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vet.purdue.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Study-Abroad_small-313x235.jpg 313w, https:\/\/vet.purdue.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Study-Abroad_small.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1671\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Thai exchange students also got to help host PVM\u2019s students (front, left-right) Julia O\u2019Rourke and Maddie Bryan when they visited Thailand earlier this year.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>This summer, PVM has the pleasure of hosting three 5<sup>th<\/sup> year CU students: Tanarut Laudhittirut, Pimpan Lertrattanakul, and Luxsamon Wonglimkittigul. The students get to rotate through sections of the Small Animal Hospital that they are interested in, including: cardiology, anesthesiology, small animal surgery, small animal medicine, ophthalmology, and emergency and critical care. They are eager to be studying abroad, making international friends, and working with PVM\u2019s up-to-date technology. The CU students are also excited for their upcoming trip to Niagara Falls as well as opportunities to try steak, milkshakes, and an American breakfast.\u00a0 They will be here through July 9, so be sure to give them a warm welcome if you see them around!<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, the CU Chapter of IVSA Thailand hosted a visit to Thailand for four PVM students, showing them around the country and providing them exposure to multiple aspects of Thai culture and lifestyle during times when the students were not busy in the Wildlife Rescue Center. The goal for both sets of exchange students is to obtain broad exposure to veterinary medicine from multiple perspectives as they gain a deeper understanding of the veterinarian\u2019s role in the global community.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1670\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1670\" class=\"img-responsive img-thumbnail wp-image-1670\" src=\"https:\/\/vet.purdue.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_1646_copy1_Thai_thumbs_up_small-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Will Smith pictured with visiting students from Thailand\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vet.purdue.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_1646_copy1_Thai_thumbs_up_small-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vet.purdue.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_1646_copy1_Thai_thumbs_up_small-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vet.purdue.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_1646_copy1_Thai_thumbs_up_small-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vet.purdue.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_1646_copy1_Thai_thumbs_up_small-353x235.jpg 353w, https:\/\/vet.purdue.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_1646_copy1_Thai_thumbs_up_small.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1670\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Will Smith, III, PVM\u2019s director of Global Engagement, and CU veterinary students visiting from Thailand give a thumbs-up to the exchange agreement between CU and PVM.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three veterinary students from Thailand are visiting the Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine thanks to an international agreement between Purdue Veterinary Medicine and the Chulalongkorn University School of Veterinary Medicine (CU) in Thailand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":1670,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[499,28],"tags":[501,26,122,56,502,231,207,500,126],"class_list":["post-1666","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-global-engagement","category-our-impact","tag-chulalongkorn-university","tag-featured-story","tag-global-engagement","tag-homepage","tag-international","tag-ivsa","tag-students","tag-thailand","tag-will-smith"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vet.purdue.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1666","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vet.purdue.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vet.purdue.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vet.purdue.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vet.purdue.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1666"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/vet.purdue.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1666\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29429,"href":"https:\/\/vet.purdue.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1666\/revisions\/29429"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vet.purdue.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1670"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vet.purdue.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1666"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vet.purdue.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1666"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vet.purdue.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1666"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
