Currently members present periodic case studies, maintain an informative bulletin board and distribute pamphlets on exotic husbandry, clinical data, and animal conservation. Wet labs offer the student hands-on experience. The club also sponsors an animal at the Columbus Zoo and the College fishtank exhibit located in the Veterinary Hospital lobby. Activities range from sponsoring debates, bringing in speakers, participating in conferences and supporting more humane alternatives in veterinary education. The Food Animal Medicine Club serves to supplement the education of the veterinary student in the field of food animal medicine.
Membership is open to all veterinary students.
The OSU Raptor Rehabilitation Club provides a unique program within the College, under the direction of the Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences. Interested students volunteer their time to provide primary care for injured, ill, or orphaned birds of prey and other migratory birds brought to the OSU Veterinary Hospital. While the primary goal is to rehabilitate birds of prey for eventual release back to the wild, the program also provides educational opportunities and hands-on experience relating to the unique medical care needs of avian wildlife. Basic and advanced teaching wet labs targeted at first and second-year veterinary students utilize faculty expertise and student interactions. This program is open to all interested veterinary students.
