Texas A&M Student Veterinary Surgeon’s Club (SVSC)
Mission
The mission of the Texas A&M Student Veterinary Surgeons Club (SVSC) is to provide opportunities for veterinary students to engage with topics of veterinary surgery outside of the general curriculum. We aim to provide students with educational lunch meetings, wet labs, and clinical exposure that will help expand their surgical knowledge and practical expertise.
Why should you join the SVSC?
Meetings
We have monthly meetings at which board-certified surgeons and surgical residents present a surgical procedure/topic in detail as well as share a bit about their journey to becoming veterinary surgeons. Topics cover a wide range of veterinary specialties, from small animals to food animals and exotics to equine.
Some topics that have been presented in the past:
- Tibial-plateau-leveling osteotomy (TPLO)
- Gastric Dilatation-Volvulus (GDV)
- Bovine C-section
- Emergency Sx on Snakes/Reptiles
- Q&A Session w/ Equine Surgeon
- What does it mean to be a veterinary surgeon?
Wet Labs
Suturing wet labs are meant to expose first- and second-year veterinary students to the art of suturing and help them lay a good foundation of proper technique. Third-year veterinary students can also take advantage of these opportunities and get in more practice time while also getting to help teach.
