Mentorship Program
The Mentorship Program is for any PVS member who is looking to make connections and network with current vet students who will one day be their future colleagues. This program will take place each semester, but you are more than welcome to stay in contact with your mentor after the semester is over. Students will be matched with a vet student that they can meet with throughout the semester to discuss interests and career goals, as well as receive advice on different matters.
Please note that spots are based on the mentors’ availabilities; therefore, acceptance is on a first come first serve basis. Applying does NOT guarantee you a spot. If you have any questions about this process please feel free to email internalactamuprevet@gmail.com.
Upon entry to the Mentorship Program, you must adhere to the Aggie Honor Code at all times. Therefore, you CANNOT discuss any class content with your mentor. If you are found in violation of this policy, you will be removed from the program.
NOTE: You must be a general member of PVS—meaning dues be paid and the Member Contact Form must be filled out—prior to the closing of the application.

Shadow Program
The Shadow Coordinator position and Shadow Program were created during COVID, when access to veterinary clinics was limited. As opportunities have expanded and clinic expectations have evolved, we are shifting away from clinic placement matching and toward a professional development and mentorship-focused approach.
Moving forward, this role will focus on equipping members with the skills to independently secure veterinary experience through professional communication, networking, and guidance within the field. This shift emphasizes long-term professional growth and better aligns with expectations of the veterinary profession. The Shadow Program Officer will now host workshops on professionally contacting clinics, provide guidance on networking and outreach, offer mentorship and resources for navigating veterinary experience and career pathways, and support members in developing initiative, confidence, and professionalism within the field.
Shadow Program Application: CLOSED for the foreseeable future
