AVM Middle School Program
Do you love animals? Do you enjoy science? Have you ever thought about being a veterinarian? If you can answer Yes!
to any of these questions, then you should apply to the Adventures in Veterinary Medicine program!
The Adventures in Veterinary Medicine Middle School program is a fun and exciting way for middle school students to spend one week learning about being a veterinarian. In our unique, career exploration program you will have an opportunity to take part in lively discussions about some of the most important animal-related issues that face veterinarians today. Students will participate in laboratories and demonstrations, attend lectures taught by Cummings School faculty and veterinary students, and also engage in some hands-on activities with animals.
