Does your class or local organization want to learn more about animal health and veterinary medicine?

We can help to connect western Canadian organizations and schools to current WCVM veterinary students who can give animal health-focused presentations in local communities during their school break.

WCVM students are available in local communities from early May to mid-August. 

Here's how the program works: 

• Submit a request for a veterinary student-led presentation in your community. Complete the request form and then submit to Heather Mandeville (heather.mandeville@usask.ca), WCVM admissions and recruitment manager. 

• Wait to hear if there's a match. Once the WCVM team receives your request for a veterinary student presentation in your community, we will work with our student volunteers to determine if anyone is available to "match up" and visit your community. 

Please note: the WCVM may not be able to meet all community presentation requests due to a limited number of available students. 

• Make final arrangements. If a student is available to give a presentation in your community, the student will contact you to make final arrangements. Presentations (including a hands-on activity or demonstration) are usually about one hour in length. 

There is no charge for a veterinary student-led presentation. The veterinary student will be responsible for providing the presentation and organizing any related materials, while the host school or organization will be responsible for providing a gathering space and inviting the class or group to the event.
