AVM High School Program
Do you love animals? Do you enjoy science? Have you ever thought about being a veterinarian? If so, the Adventures in Veterinary Medicine program is right for you. Apply today for this coming summer!
The Adventures in Veterinary Medicine High School program is an exciting, stimulating and fun way for high school students to spend two weeks learning more about the veterinary profession. High school students will have the opportunity visit our hospitals by engaging in rotations with fourth year veterinary students in the Foster Hospital for Small Animals, the Hospital for Large Animals and the Tufts Wildlife Clinic. Programming can be intensive and intellectually challenging as students take part in lively discussions about some of the most important animal-related issues that face veterinarians today. AVM's lectures and laboratories are taught by TCSVM faculty, staff and veterinary students. Exciting behind-the-scenes field trips and some hands-on activities with animals are also included. Don't miss out on this exciting opportunity!
