Over the summer, the University of Minnesota and local organizations in Austin, Minnesota, helped provide free health services for more than 150 people and pets at a one-day community clinic!

Veterinary volunteers, including CVM alumni, faculty, and students like Micaela Sanchez Cereceda (slide 1), helped examine and vaccinate pets. “I just love community medicine,” Sanchez Cereceda says. “It’s hard work, and we’re giving up our weekend, but it’s to serve the community and provide the best care while practicing the medicine we love. You create such bonds with the people you work with, and with the community.”

Giving teens the chance to step into a veterinarian's shoes and inspiring them to join the field 🩺🥼✨

DVM students Esel Ro, Jack Ji, Aaike Dergance, and Snow Li spent their summer developing and teaching hands-on learning activities at CVM's VetCamp, an interactive education program for middle and high school students. While they spend the camp teaching new skills and imparting knowledge, the DVM student coordinators are also learning, tasked with translating complex medical processes and clinical language into approachable and interesting lessons.

Thank you to all our amazing students who joined us as coordinators!

At CVM’s newest clinic, the Companion Animal Teaching Clinic (CATC), fourth-year students lead veterinary appointments. They speak with pet owners, perform examinations and routine procedures, and develop treatment plans.

Sonny Carey (’26 DVM), a recent graduate who completed a rotation at CATC this spring, notes that the level of autonomy this teaching model encourages has been extremely valuable for her intended career path in emergency medicine. “The teaching clinic has made me a better veterinarian by allowing me to independently work up cases with the support of my attending veterinarians and come up with my own therapeutic plans, which helps best prepare me for the future,” she says.

The student experience at CATC is structured as a clinical rotation. The clinic’s rotation will now be part of the more than 60 offered at the college that focus on various animal species and care specialties.
