Introduction
Are you a youth passionate about working with animals? Join us for a “Vet for a Day” event! Through our programme, you’ll meet real veterinarians, at your school or in their workplace, attend university open days, and gain invaluable insights into the profession.
Outreach Programme
Do you want to meet veterinary students and learn more about their studies?
Our DEI veterinary student ambassadors will present veterinary education in your local high schools using our structured presentation framework and guidebook.
This initiative aims to encourage teens from all socio-economic backgrounds to consider veterinary medicine. Our goal is to ensure that veterinary school selection processes reflect our society rather than favouring certain communities.
If you’re interested in scheduling an outreach visit to your high school, look for a DEI veterinary student ambassador near you on our network’s map below.
