Many recent graduates struggle to adjust from a student budget to the working world. There’s suddenly a lot of money coming in, but also some big expenses. Like loan repayment.

NYSVMS has been working one-on-one with recent graduates to understand their challenges and to deliver the help they need. From this experience we can let you know what to expect and how to prepare for it.

It is very important to choose the right loan repayment program for your needs. Join our education classes while still a student, and then take advantage of our free money mentoring program as soon as start work in NY.

We would love you to join our webinars. You can get a broader perspective on veterinary medicine and practicing in NY State.

If you have any interest in Integrative Medicine you have come to the right place. We have a very strong Integrative Medicine committee that puts on some of the best speakers in the field.

Or you can join a live radiology workshop and join our members in helping to interpret radiographs.

We also have panels where our members discuss how they apply new technology, for example for more efficient record-keeping. There are sessions on loan repayments, animal welfare and even how to stay out of trouble with the licensing board.

When you are on the call drop a note in the chat to say you are a student and you will receive a warm welcome.

The Power of Ten Leadership Program is a NYSVMS initiative designed to cultivate leadership capacity and provide learning experiences that will enrich the individual and benefit the individual’s practice, community and profession. This program will provide ten veterinarians with leadership development sessions over the course of a year. NYSVMS will provide topic experts and meeting expenses at no charge for participants to attend sessions that not only convey the key learning points about leadership, but deepen the understanding of class members on a number of related topics.

There are four half-day sessions, with a mix of virtual and in-person attendance. Some are held concurrently with Executive Board meetings providing you with an opportunity to attend the next day. Program Alumni have gone on to many leadership positions within NYSVMS and our Regional Groups. Its a great way to start making a difference to your profession.
