Professional Skills

Resume Clinics & Mock Interviews

We run hands-on sessions where students work directly with practicing veterinarians to refine resumes and practice mock interviews. These experiences help participants build professional skills, gain confidence, and prepare for future opportunities in veterinary medicine.

Summer Shadowing at Clinics

Our ongoing summer shadowing program places students in veterinary clinics, giving them the chance to observe and learn from professionals in real-world settings. Participants gain practical knowledge of clinic operations, patient care, and career pathways, helping them make informed decisions about their future in veterinary medicine.
