Category:
Outreach
Date:
Wednesday, January 12th 2022
Start Time:
1:00 PM
Session Length:
50 minutes
Room:
LSC 300
Description:
Faculty and staff from the Zoetis Veterinary Perspectives Institute will share their experiences and outcomes from a youth summer program offered as a free, 1 credit, online course. Presenters will describe creating a case-based, experiential learning curriculum within a paradigm of culturally competent mentorship, to facilitate exploration of topics in veterinary medicine and One Health. When the desire to become a veterinarian is deconstructed, a desire to help animals is often central to the career interest. The program goal was to provide participants with an understanding of various professional roles in the context of their desires and interests, as well as resources for overcoming obstacles to achieve their dream careers. Students were given insight into the veterinary profession, career options in One Health, and various pathways to attend college. Mentors provided relevant experience, offered positive relationships, and strategies for overcoming obstacles. This program also created opportunities for undergraduate and veterinary students, faculty, and staff to develop awareness, knowledge, and skills for working with diverse populations and helped close the mentorship gap for minoritized and marginalized youth.
Goals and Target Audience:
Outreach coordinators, summer program faculty/staff
