The pre-vet club can help to ease these difficulties. Because all members are heading toward a common goal, many classes will overlap. Suggestions and helpful hints are happily give to the newer members of the club. Also, there is the opportunity to talk with other members who have gone through the application process. Furthermore, the Pre-Vet Club has a different guest speaker at every meeting, enabling members to gain a better understanding of the veterinary profession and current issues in veterinary medicine.
All speakers are open for questions at the conclusion of their presentation.
The club offers experience days to help meet this aspect of veterinary school preparation. Some experience days are spent on university farms, where members receive practical information about the animals and their care. For other experience days the club travels out of town to zoos, farms, and parks. These days are fun as well as informative. Last revised May 30, 1996.
