Texas A&M Student Chapter of the American Association of Equine Practitioners (SCAAEP)
Mission
The mission of the Texas A&M Student Chapter of the American Association of Equine Practitioners (SCAAEP) is to enhance the educational opportunities of DVM professional students, inform students about veterinary-related problems currently affecting the horse industry, and promote the exchange of professional knowledge among students and practitioners for the advancement of equine health.
About
We’re the local student chapter of the American Association of Equine Practitioners. We have over 100 student members who range from aspiring equine specialists to future mixed animal practitioners. We’re active both on campus with lectures and hands-on workshops as well as in the community with labs and clinical days with local private practitioners. Our goal is to create as many horse-related educational and professional opportunities for our members as possible.
Our flagship event is the annual SCAAEP Wet Lab. This is a longstanding event during which we get to briefly take over the Texas A&M Large Animal Teaching Hospital (LATH) and spend time with professors and equine clinicians for a day of learning and practice.

Raising the Standard in Horse Health — General Information
The American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) was founded in 1954 by a group of 11 charter members who saw that together they could direct the focus of equine veterinary medicine. Today, the AAEP, headquartered in Lexington, Kentucky, represents an educated group of men and women who cover a broad range of equine disciplines, breeds and associations. Nearly 10,000 veterinarians and veterinary students in 57 countries are members of the AAEP.
The AAEP’s mission is to improve the health and welfare of the horse, to further the professional development of its members, and to provide resources and leadership for the benefit of the equine industry. These principles have guided the AAEP for more than 50 years in the activities and services it provides.
