Summers

Any suggestions of what one can do bw first and second year. I haven't a clue of what area of vet medicine I would like to go into. I have done basic sci research (with one pub). Most ppl I speak with say don't do a darn thing, but I want to do something. Are there any programs I could look into? Missions? Thanks for the help.

There are probably thousands of opportunities. Start here:

American Veterinary Medical Association (http://www.avma.org/)

American Animal Hospital Association (http://www.aahanet.org/Index.cfm)

Banfield (http://www.banfield.net/)

American Assn of Equine Practitioners (http://www.aaep.org/index.php)

American Assn of Bovine Practitioners (http://www.aabp.org/)

American Zoo and Aquarium Assn (http://www.aza.org/)

American Assn of Small Ruminant Practitioners (http://www.aasrp.org/)

Some random USDA link (http://www.fsis.usda.gov/Careers/Veterinary_Student_Employment_Program/index.asp)

There is some other stuff that SGU offers like trips to Africa and maybe some other stuff.

I am sure there are many, many others. I usually stay down here over the summer and work at the VTH (Vet teaching hospital) and enjoy Grenada while it lasts. Banfield is becoming more and more popular and they have a $@&%load of externships, summer jobs, etc.
