to any of these questions, then the Adventures in Veterinary Medicine program is right for you. Apply for this 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 about being a veterinarian. Students will visit the Foster Hospital for Small Animals and the Hospital for Large Animals as well as the Tufts Wildlife Clinic. The program is an intensive and intellectually challenging one where students will take part in lively discussions about some of the most important animal-related issues that face veterinarians today. The program includes lectures and laboratories taught by TCSVM faculty and veterinary students with topics that can include, just to name a few:
- Shelter Medicine
- Zoonoses
- Ethics
- Emergency Veterinary Medicine
- Animals in Public Policy
- Hematology Lab
- Suture Clinic
Students will go on animal related field trips and have the opportunity to engage in hands-on activities with animals. You will experience what life as a veterinary student is like when you participate in clinical and surgical rotations with fourth year vet students. Our Admissions Office will talk to you about what it takes to get into veterinary school. Don’t miss out on this exciting opportunity!
