And more!
The first Pre-Vet Training Seminar will be held in June. These seminars are held once a month (either Saturday or Sunday) and attendance is HIGHLY encouraged. (8 seminars are required each year of the internship.)
Who is eligible for this internship?
This program is designed for Pre-Vet Undergraduates (ideally Sophomores and Juniors) who are on track for applying to Veterinary School or an Accredited Veterinary Nursing/Technician program. A cumulative GPA of 3.3-4.0 is preferred, as the program is demanding, and students must have a track record of excellent time management, dedication to academics, dependability and an established work ethic.
Who is eligible for this internship?
The Internship Program officially begins in May with on-site training. Full-time participants (35-40 hours/week) will begin working in the hospitals between mid-May and June, with the date to be determined by the participating hospital and student.
To get the most of the program, we highly encourage students to continue working on a part-time basis during the Fall, Winter and Spring semesters. (More puppy kisses, more varied experiences, and more to love about the veterinary field!)
Application Meetings
Join us for an application informational meeting at your university! We'll discuss the application process and the program in more detail at these meetings. Attendance is required at a meeting to be considered for the internship program.
On-campus meetings will begin in January. Applicants should contact their Pre-Veterinary advisors for scheduled meetings at their university.
