Vet Up! College Program for Undergraduate Students Interested in Veterinary Medicine – Purdue University – About the Internship
Vet Up! College is a 6-week residential program at Purdue College of Veterinary Medicine for rising undergraduate juniors and seniors* at the time of the program in summer 2022 who are serious about applying to veterinary school.
- This program allows students to preview what it is like to be a veterinary student through coursework, clinical skills labs, industry trips, study groups, group projects, and more.
- Four weeks are spent on Purdue’s campus in West Lafayette, and two weeks are spent completing an internship at a clinical placement site in the student’s local area. Many students have been able to secure long-term employment at their clinical site after the internship concludes to continue gaining valuable veterinary experience.
- The opportunity to apply for early, provisional admission to Purdue’s veterinary school, bypassing the VMCAS application process, may be included in this program for students who are eligible.
- Programming is cost-free, with housing, a travel stipend up to a maximum amount, and a daily expense stipend to offset most, if not all, expenses incurred from participation. This is why this position is marked as “paid.” Many students have excess funds from the daily stipend and choose to save this stipend for their future education or for other purposes.
- All participants receive long-term advising and mentorship as long as their end goal continues to be to earn a DVM degree.
- Students with an interest in veterinary shortage areas, including food safety, public health, and regulatory medicine, receive preference during the admissions process.
