Vet Prep Program

Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine established the Vet Prep Program for prospective veterinary students. The curriculum is designed to promote self-directed learning that will prepare students to meet the rigorous demands of the veterinary medicine curriculum. The Vet Prep Program provides an opportunity for students to develop good study habits, communications skills, and the ability to work well with colleagues as team members. An integrated approach is used in teaching this Program in order to enhance meaning, understanding, and retention of information. Major emphasis is placed on Evidence Based Medicine where students must learn to work well with a group of fellow students in discovering and utilizing the resources that are available to them.
