CLINIC SCHEDULE
----- IMPORTANT INFORMATION -----
The complete 2010 clinic schedule is now posted.Trips listed as "FULL" cannot accommodate any additional student applicants.
If you are a student, do not select these trips or your application will be disregarded. The FULL designation pertains to students only. Professional volunteers are encouraged to apply for all trips-even those listed as FULL. Another note will be posted in the Trip Details section when a clinic is fully staffed for professional volunteers as well.
Trip Dates: The posted start date for all trips is the day that volunteers must be on site. The end date is the day that volunteers can leave for home. Volunteers are expected to participate for the entire duration of the trip.
Before applying, be sure to read the entire Volunteer Information section of this site and review the Trip Details page for each trip you are applying for.
For registration information and application see the Volunteer Application page.
If selecting more than one trip, you MUST indicate on your application (on the trip selection page) if you are available for all of the selected trips or just one.

----- ADDITIONAL NOTES -----
Volunteer Selection: Assignments are NOT made on a first-come basis. All volunteers will be subject to a selection process based on year in school, prior experience and organizational need. Selection will be designed to provide a balance of experience and skill levels. New volunteers are encouraged to apply! Note that summer clinics have a much higher application rate. If you are available to participate in a winter or spring clinic, these trips generally allow a greater chance of acceptance.
Consecutive Trips: To provide the greatest opportunity for learning and skill development, many trips are set up so that student rosters are scheduled as 2 consecutive weeks and students will be required to participate in both weeks in these cases. Consecutively scheduled trips require only one student trip deposit.
The following clinics are considered consecutive trip combinations. Students are required to participate in both weeks. :
White Mt and San Carlos, AZ
Covelo and Hoopa, CA
Spirit Lake and Fort Berthold, ND (small animal)
Standing Rock, ND and Cheyenne River, SD (small animal)
Colville and Quinault, WA (see note re: travel on Trip Details pages)
Equine Clinics: Trips listed as "small animal and equine" will have variable amounts of horse work. Student volunteers should be prepared to provide primarily small animal services. Trips listed as equine-only generally consist of small teams and may have additional volunteer requirements. Check the Trip Details page for the clinic of interest for more information.
HSVMA Student Membership: All student applicants will automatically receive a complimentary HSVMA student membership. For information on member benefits and services visit www.hsvma.org
