As VMCAS prepares for the 2009 Application Season, we want to take a moment to provide you with some key dates.
- The 2009 Application will launch Wednesday, June 4th.
- The application deadline, this year, is Thursday, October 2nd, 2008, at NOON EDT.
- Applicants should start speaking to potential evaluators and confirm whether or not they will write an evaluation on their behalf.
This year VMCAS only acdepts electronic evaluations. Please be sure to familiarize yourself with the Electronic Letters of Recommendations (eLOR) process. Applicants find it easy to use. They also like the fact that they can track the progress of their evaluations online. Evaluators also like it because they can easily track their evaluations.
In closing, please remember that our Student & Advisor Hotline is available to answer your questions, Monday – Friday from 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM ET. Please either contact us by our toll free number, 1-877-862-2740 or by email, vmcas@aavmc.org. Thank you and we look forward to working with you this coming season.
Best Regards,
VMCAS
Animal,
public, and environmental health all depend upon the diversity
of the veterinary profession. James Herriott, the beloved
veterinarian of years past, would be proud of the expansion
and new roles the profession has assumed. While veterinarians
are often considered "the other family doctor," they also
ensure that the food supply is safe and wholesome, treat livestock
and wildlife, research diseases and disorders affecting both
humans and animals, protect ecosystem health and more. The
breadth of the profession is quite expansive.
There
are numerous opportunities for students to pursue their own
interests in veterinary medicine. You can be a small animal
practitioner, make farm calls, work as a public health official,
raise Whooping Cranes, track human diseases in far off lands,
work to find a cure for cancer, even become an astronaut.
Explore the different fields of the profession - investigate
the programs offered by the colleges, consider hands-on opportunities.
As a veterinarian, your career options will be infinite.
