In its 200+ years of history, the University of Pittsburgh has grown to excel in areas of science including genetics, molecular biology, physics and neurology. It's hard to believe that at a university so immersed in science, the first Pre-Vet club was founded in May 2006!

Our purpose is to unite Pitt students who are striving for a career in veterinary medicine. On our site, you'll find a variety of info including
an introductory glossary of terms,
a directory of animal-related opportunities in Pittsburgh, links to pre-veterinary clubs across the country, and a little background on each of our members. You'll also find upcoming events (in the blue "Events" section docked to the right of
each page), as well as news updates on club activities and accomplishments
(see below).

 
   
 

The 2008/2009 University of Pittsburgh Pre-vet club website is finally up again!! Feel free to email Tracy if you have any questions or suggestions on how to improve the site; we want to make this website as helpful as possible.

1/17/09 Our former Pre-Vet club president, Ashley Case, returned to Pittsburgh for the weekend and spoke with us about her experience applying to vet schools and about her first semester at Tufts Veterinary School in Massachusetts. Thanks again Ashley for taking the time out to answer our questions!

Questions and Answers from the session will soon be posted in the RESOURCES link along with a compilation of possible vet school interview questions. Check it out!

     
  paw 1/20/09 The first Pitt Pre-vet club bake sale took place last week in the William Pitt Union. Thanks to the members who baked and came out to sit and sell some delicious baked goods! Our proceeds will be either added to club funding or donated to a local animal shelter. Hopefully, we can hold the second sale when the weather warms up and sell much more!
     
  paw The highly anticipated tour of the zoo is finally here. We will be taking a trip to the Pittsburgh Zoo to check out what goes on behind the scenes.
     
  paw The year is coming to a close, which means it is time for a new set of officers to be elected. Elections will be held at our next meeting to determine who will carry on the mission of the pre-veterinary club for the 2009-2010 session.
