GETTING ANIMAL and VETERINARY EXPERIENCE

Veterinary medicine is the only profession where the majority of its members, made their career decision before they were 13 years of age. Each year, millions of new elementary and middle school students make their own decision to become animal doctors. They are looking for guidance on how they can explore their dream. Vet Set Go is here to support them by helping them get the animal and veterinary experience they crave.

SHADOWING VETERINARIANS

Shadowing a veterinarian is one of the best ways to explore veterinary medicine. You’ll get a firsthand look at the day in the life of a veterinarian. If you plan well, you’ll be able to work with different types of veterinarians and explore the many general practice and specialty opportunities veterinarians have.

Vet Set Go’s Vet Volunteer App is only free app that helps aspiring veterinarians find volunteer opportunities near their home and track their hours for veterinary college. It contains a national directory of organizations that welcome aspiring veterinarians as volunteers while at the same time providing an easy and accurate way for students to track their hours for future veterinary applications.

CAMP SCHOLARSHIPS

Every year, we provide scholarships to veterinary camps such as the Junior Veterinary Camp at Auburn College of Veterinary Medicine. These camps allow aspiring veterinarians to explore veterinary medicine and begin building a lifelong love of science.
