IMPORTANT
Meeting with BARCS Vet
Learn about a potential opportunity to gain vet experience
Kelly Cyr, who is a vet at Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter (BARCS) & a UMBC alum reached out to our Service-Learning about recruiting UMBC students (especially pre-vet students) to help with AM and PM dog and cat meds at BARCS. This would be a beneficial opportunity that would allow those participating to get veterinary experience to improve vet school applications.
From Kelly Cyr:
We've recently been having trouble finding volunteers to help with AM and PM dog and cat meds at BARCS. We currently only have a few people trained to do this job and it's a HUGE help for our vet techs when someone is able to help with meds.
I'm hoping that maybe this is something we can recruit UMBC students (especially pre-vet students) to help us with. I'm hopeful that this would be a mutually beneficial thing, especially for any pre-vet students as it would allow them to get veterinary experience to improve their vet school applications.
We've had a couple of UMBC students start off as volunteer techs and move into contract/FT tech positions and then move on to veterinary school! This year we had two amazing UMBC students (Cierra McKoy and Matt Brown) BOTH get into vet school!
