V-SMART Presentations and Exhibits
V-SMART members travel
throughout the state of Iowa giving presentations and setting up
exhibits at youth events. V-SMART’s main goal is to show students
the opportunities available in veterinary medicine. With our
interactive presentation, our group outlines:
 |
The current
duties of a mixed/food animal veterinarian |
 |
The future
outlook of the veterinary profession |
 |
The education
and prerequisites for applying to veterinary school |
 |
The reasons why
being a veterinarian is such a rewarding career |
We also supplement our
presentation with a brochure and question/answer session with a
current veterinary student, and if possible, a local veterinarian.
The question/answer session gives students an opportunity to ask the
veterinary student what it is like to be in veterinary school and
the route that the student took to get there. It also gives them a
chance to ask the veterinarian questions about being in this
profession. Interested students can also talk to the veterinarian
about shadowing him or her, giving students another opportunity to
learn about the veterinary profession.
V-SMART is looking for
opportunities to present to students across the state. If you would
be interested in having V-SMART give a presentation to your classes,
FFA chapter, 4-H club, or any youth event, please contact us at
vsmart@iastate.edu to
schedule a presentation time. We are available to give presentations
anywhere in the state and throughout the year; however, breaks in
our semester, (such as early in the week of Thanksgiving, winter
break, and spring break) are ideal times for our group to give
presentations. V-SMART can also go to career fairs and other
career-related activities your school or community may have.
