Hello Vet Med!
Hopefully you survived the first week back from break, and are ready to finish
2017 strong! Congratulations to all of the fourth years who have taken the
NAVLE, and good luck to all those who still have to take it! Third years are
rocking junior surgery and dreaming about clinical year. Second years are slogging
through all that pathology, and first years are living a little easier than everyone
else on rotation vacation. Hang on for the last few weeks – a long winter break and
relief from the NAVLE stress will be here before you know it!

Do you still find yourself wondering: “What is ISCAVMA?” Ask no more!
Here is a brief summary:
ISCAVMA is our school’s student chapter of the AVMA. Each veterinary school has their own student
chapter that functions under the Student AVMA (SAVMA), which consists of an Executive Board and a
House of Delegates (HOD) composed of two representatives from each member chapter (including our
own). The formation of a national organization of veterinary students has enabled what were once isolated
student chapters to function effectively as a single unit on the national scene.
The Student AVMA coordinates student chapter functions, promotes the exchange of ideas and
information among students, and represents its members in matters that concern them, both as students
and as future veterinarians.
For more information on SAVMA, please visit https://www.avma.org/About/SAVMA/Pages/default.aspx
