ELIGIBILITY

At the time of the clerkship, students should be in their 3rd or 4th year of an accredited doctoral training program in veterinary medicine. Acceptance is dependent on the student’s interest in pursuing a career in laboratory animal medicine, clerkship availability during the requested period (we generally do not want more than two fourth-year or three third-year students at a time), strength of the application, and letter of intent. Students are encouraged to apply early to ensure acceptance.
