About Us
The Shelter Medicine Club's mission is to expose veterinary students to the myriad of issues surrounding animal sheltering and animal welfare issues. We collaborate with local shelters to host monthly clinics where students can gain hands-on experience through assisting with surgery prep and post-op care, administering vaccines, and performing physical exams. We host speakers on a wide range of subjects, such as careers in animal sheltering medicine, humane animal handling, rescuing animals during disasters, animal behavior, and pet overpopulation. We often work together with other clubs on animal welfare-related topics, and also host brown bag discussions on various issues.
