The Summer Vet Program is a student's ticket to the world of veterinary medicine! For students who are serious about becoming a veterinarian, this is a super opportunity to look into the real and sometimes gritty field of veterinary medicine. Through presentations, demonstrations, laboratories, visits, and in-depth, hands-on activities, students discover what modern veterinary medicine is about. Participants meet professors, practitioners, and students in the discipline and have ample opportunity to talk with them. Some of the activities of the program include (view the 2009 Summer Vet Schedule):

The Summer Vet program will be June 21 - 25, 2010, from ~1 PM - 4 PM at Colorado State University. It is highly encouraged that students combine this experience with the SciTrek program as many scientific concepts and research techniques that are important to an undergraduate science major, intent upon becoming a veterinarian, will be explored experimentally during the morning program. Additional information about CSU's professional veterinary medicine program can be found on the CVMBS web site.

Cost: (Note: there are a few tuition scholarships available for students who are economically disadvantaged. Scholarship applications are closed for this year.)

This is not a competitive program and registrations are processed on a first come, first serve basis and limited to 30 students, so don't delay!
