Now in its fifth year, the week-long camp offers students from underrepresented populations the opportunity to explore and consider a career in veterinary medicine through interactive presentations and hands-on learning experiences.

What’s in store for VA-MD Vet Med’s future? A comparative oncology center in Roanoke, more externship and clinical training opportunities for students in the National Capital Region, and an expansion of our Veterinary Teaching Hospital at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg! Learn more 📰⬇️

We are grateful that Denise Gorondy-Toderico (DVM '99) — a practicing equine vet at the time of "the incident" — continues to travel the road to recovery: "I'm not there yet, but I'm going to get there."

“It almost seemed too obvious,” said Andrea Oliver of her decision to be an equine veterinarian. “Oh, horse girl goes for being a horse vet — what a boring story.”

Sometimes the obvious path is the right one. 💁‍♀️ Congratulations 🎉 to Andrea Oliver, the college's 2019 Outstanding Graduating Student! We wish her all the best in her 🐴 internship next year at Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there! xoxo ❤️
