Building a Stronger Future Through Community 

At the University of Arizona College of Veterinary Medicine, the future of veterinary medicine is shaped and strengthened by the communities we serve. That’s why we proudly collaborate with schools, organizations, clinics, and industry leaders to create future leaders of the veterinary profession.

Key Initiatives Include:

Pathway Programs
Tailored programming helps students strengthen their applications and build confidence through early exposure to veterinary coursework, clinical skills, and academic support.

Community-Based Learning
Through partnerships with our clinical affiliates, we provide immersive, real-world experiences that equip students to serve diverse populations and gain valuable professional experience.

Mentorship and Professional Development
Our partners help us connect future veterinary students with mentors who reflect the rich diversity of our profession, offering guidance, encouragement, and a model for success.

Our Connections Make the Difference

These programs are possible because of our dedicated community leaders. Together, we are shaping a veterinary workforce that is not only highly skilled but also deeply rooted in service, equity, and compassion.
