The University of Kentucky Pre-Veterinary Advising Program, in conjunction with UK Ag Equine Programs and the Kentucky Horse Council, will host an inaugural Pre-Veterinary Experience Day Feb. 17 at the Kentucky Horse Park. The day-long event is open to all college students with an interest in veterinary medicine.
The event offers attendees insight into current veterinary medicine issues, addressing topics such as student debt, mental health and work-life balance.
“Many students have an interest in becoming a veterinarian, but finding the best pre-vet pathway can sometimes be challenging,” said Colette Tebeau, event organizer and pre-veterinary academic coordinator within the UK Martin-Gatton College of Agriculture, Food and Environment’s Department of Animal and Food Sciences. “This event is designed to provide clarity on application requirements while introducing students to current industry challenges and many available opportunities within veterinary medicine.”
During the morning session, attendees will choose between informational sessions based on their level of knowledge and preparation for veterinary school. Those early in their pre-veterinary pathway investigation may select sessions focused on assessing veterinary schools and preparing a competitive application. Those students further along in the process can opt into sessions providing insight into the Veterinary Medical College Application Service application and the diverse veterinary career possibilities.
