Spotlight

This month NOMV would like to shine a spe spotlight on the Student Support and Mentorship Committee!

The mission of this committee is to transform the educational experience within the veterinary profession by cultivating communities that empower mental wellbeing so individuals can thrive during school and beyond.

NOMV is conducting an anonymous student survey to determine how we can best support you! We are asking current veterinary students and recent graduates to complete the survey and share with fellow students.
