ISVMA Seeks Mentors to Inspire the Next Generation of Veterinarians
Are you ready to make a lasting impact on the future of veterinary medicine? The Illinois State Veterinary Medical Association (ISVMA) is calling on passionate professionals to mentor veterinary students at the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine.
Through the ISVMA Mentorship Program, you’ll have the opportunity to share your experience, offer guidance, and help students navigate the transition from classroom to clinic. Whether you’re in private practice, academia, research, or industry, your insights are invaluable.
Mentors provide support on topics such as:
- Clinical case management (medical & surgical)
- Transitioning from vet school to professional life
- Career planning and job selection
- Work/life balance and wellness
- Professional growth and leadership
Mentorship is a two-way street. Here’s what you’ll gain:
- Pride in helping a future veterinarian grow and succeed
- Personal growth through meaningful conversations and shared learning
- Enhanced communication skills and exposure to diverse perspectives
- Fulfillment from guiding tomorrow’s leaders
- Expanded professional network and deeper connection to the veterinary community
Interested? Just take our short ISVMA Mentor Survey—it takes less than 5 minutes! Mentors will be matched with students in January 2023, and we’re excited to build lasting connections that support the future of our profession.
Your experience matters. Your voice matters. And your mentorship can make all the difference. Join us in shaping the next generation of veterinary professionals.
