CLINIC SCHEDULE
----- IMPORTANT INFORMATION -----
THIS SCHEDULE IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE. Please be aware that trip details, including dates and locations, are occasionally subject to change due to local resources and community needs. Please check this page often for updates.
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.
Veterinarians and veterinary technicians are encouraged to apply for all trips-even those listed as FULL.
Another note will be posted when the 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 Volunteer Requirements section of this site.
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.
PLEASE do not apply for more than 4 trips as this makes our scheduling efforts very difficult. Applications with more than 4 trips listed will be disregarded.

----- 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!
Consecutive Trips: To provide the greatest opportunity for learning and skill development, it is recommended that students apply for 2 consecutive week trips whenever
possible. Consecutively scheduled trips require only one student trip deposit.
The following clinics are appropriate consecutive trip combinations:
Covelo and Hoopa, CA
White Mt and San Carlos, AZ
Standing Rock and Fort Berthold, ND
Cheyenne River and Pine Ridge, SD
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. Individuals with equine interest will generally get some horse experience, but it is difficult to predict how much. Equine teams will be selected at the start of the trip based on prior experience and a written test on RAVS equine protocols.
