Vet Med Interest Group

The NIH Vet Med Interest Group strives to connect anyone curious about veterinary medicine and animal care. The Vet Med Interest Group organizes volunteer/involvement in the area, fosters connections between fellows and faculty, and provides networking opportunities for NIH members across all institutes. Additionally, the interest group will organize guest speakers from both within NIH and the broader veterinary community to share their career paths, schooling, research, and advice to trainees who may be interested in pursuing vet med.

This group strengthens the intramural research program by hosting discussions across institutes, career development talks, and supporting translational/comparative research efforts. We meet monthly to provide information and support to members. Participation in this group does not require active involvement in veterinary medicine, and we encourage all NIH members, regardless of career goals, to attend events and talks.
