Welcome!Congratulations! You made it to the Vet Aide Club's Home page. This club is open to all undergraduates of any major at the University of California, Davis. Please take a look at what we're up to and what you can do by becoming a member. If you are interested in joining, go ahead and e-mail an officer for more information and to be added to the list serve. The Vet Aide Club provides its members with opportunies to gain practical, hands on experience in various aspects of the field of veterinary medicine. We incorporate students from a variety of majors including Animal Science, Avian Science, and Animal Biology, to name a few. The VAC offers internships at the UC Davis Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital (VMTH) while providing members with an opportunity to interact with other pre-veterinary students through social and educational meetings and activities.
This club is of great value to pre-vet students who aspire to obtain a working knowledge of the different areas of the VMTH and who wish to gain insight into what it's like to be a vet student. The hours accumulated while working as a vet aide help students develop their interests and decide on a particular specialization for vet school. This knowledge and experience is often used as a stepping stone toward future internships, jobs, or as experience hours required for vet school admission. Vet Aides have proven to be great assets at their internships while learning the required skills for future success. These volunteers benefit from lasting relationships made with the VMTH staff as they work side by side with veterinary professionals. Being an effective vet aid requires enthusiasm, participation, and initiative to provide maximum benefit to both student and staff. The Vet Aide Club also provides social networking, connecting students who have similar interests in animals or veterinary medicine. Overall, the Vet Aide Club strives to promote fellowship among its members and to provide them with all of the opportunities to be competitive vet school applicants.
