CLINIC SCHEDULE
THE VOLUNTEER APPLICATION FOR 2024 CLINICS WILL BE AVAILABLE ON THE FOLLOWING SCHEDULE:
- November 1, 2023: Initial 2024 Clinic Schedule posted
- November 8, 2023: Applications accepted for students on all clinics and professional volunteers on clinics scheduled January-March
- December 1, 2023: Deadline for veterinary student and veterinary technician student applications
Professional & Support Volunteers:Veterinarians, veterinary technicians, assistants, and other non-student volunteers interested in summer clinics are encouraged to apply after December 1, 2023. Applications for professional volunteers will be accepted on an ongoing basis after December 1 until all rosters and waitlists have been filled.
NOTE: ALL volunteers (student, professional and support volunteers) interested in clinics scheduled January-March should apply as soon as possible!
Applicants from all backgrounds and experience levels are encouraged to apply. Please check back regularly for schedule updates and new opportunities.
Veterinary Students: Participating in two consecutive clinic weeks is an excellent opportunity for students to maximize learning and skill development. Student volunteers are highly encouraged to apply for a two-week experience whenever possible. Depending on applications and community logistics, students may be accepted for just one or both of their requested clinics but students available for both weeks will generally be given priority.
We look forward to seeing you in the field!

----- ADDITIONAL NOTES -----
Additional opportunities are added to the clinic schdeule throughout the year as local logistics allow. Please check back here for updates on clinic scheduling and additional volunteer opportunities.
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 mid-summer clinics (June-Aug) have a much higher application rate. If you are available to participate in a winter, spring or fall clinic, these trips generally allow a greater chance of acceptance.
HSVMA Student Membership: All student volunteers will automatically receive a complimentary HSVMA student membership. For information on member benefits and services visit www.hsvma.org
