University of Kentucky Pre-Vet Club (UKPVC)

The University of Kentucky Pre-Vet Club consists of 75-100 members and meets the second Wednesday of each month at 7pm. These monthly meetings center around a guest speaker, which is often a local area veterinarian but may also be practice managers, interns, veterinary students, and PhD's. The club invites guest speakers from many different aspects of the veterinary industry which exposes our memb

ers to the many options available for their professional future. We also organize club trips each semester to various animal facilities, service trips and social events every month of the academic year.

IMPORTANT UPDATES: We’ve made the choice to meet online rather than in person after reviewing university guidelines regarding club meetings. We’d love to hang out with you all in person, but zoom will have to do for now so we all can be happy and healthy! **This means the Red River Gorge outing that was scheduled for Sept 5th is cancelled.** Our club meetings will be on zoom on the second Wednesday of each month. We will send out email reminders as we approach them. (DM or email us if you need to be added to the email list or GroupMe)! Have a great week!

Our Purpose

The purpose of the University of Kentucky’s Pre-Vet Club is to serve and develop the future leaders of veterinary medicine, to provide an atmosphere of social enrichment, and to expand knowledge and experience in the veterinary field. We aspire to create a community of support, friendship and connection between future veterinarians at an undergraduate level. Collectively we will help empower students, as we prepare for vet school.

The University of Kentucky’s Pre-Vet Club hosts a monthly veterinary speaker, social event, animal-related experience, and service event to boost interest in the veterinary field and provide undergraduates with experience that will benefit them as they apply and attend veterinary school.

Monthly meetings occur on the second Wednesday of each month at 7:00pm at the College of Agriculture, Food, and Environment. Email [email protected] to be added to the listserv for event and meeting updates.
