OVMA Food Animal Externship
For students studying veterinary medicine, the best way to learn is by firsthand experience. In an effort to encourage students who want to take their education to the next level, the Ohio Veterinary Medical Association will provide a total of $8,000 in matching grant funds to veterinarians willing to introduce students to food animal medicine.
Purpose of the Program
This externship opportunity has been established to facilitate the exploration of food animal medicine as a viable career path among veterinary medicine students. The program also encourages and supports OVMA food animal practitioners in developing mentorship opportunities and, potentially, future associate veterinarians.
Eligible Students
OVMA Student Members in their first, second or third year of veterinary school are eligible to apply for the Food Animal Externship.
OVMA also requires that student applicants be in good academic standing and provide a brief evaluation of their experience following the program.
