The DVMC is excited to expand access to veterinary medicine education to traditionally underserved and underrepresented groups by offering education grants.
Recipients will be chosen and will receive an education grant in the form of free registration and paid travel expenses (hotel and airfare).*
With hundreds of CE credit hours to choose from, recipients will find relevant learning in a variety of formats as well as have the opportunity to network with industry professionals and peers.

"There's only 2.2% of people of color in vet med. Going to this conference and meeting these people, I thought, this is like a step closer to me achieving that goal of changing the percentage of people of color in vet med."
