About FAPC
The Food Animal Practitioners Club is a close-knit group
of students with an interest in cattle, swine, sheep, goats, camelids and poultry medicine.
The club holds rounds every Tuesday afternoon where various veterinary cases and farm management
issues are explored. Meetings are held on the first Tuesday of every month. At these meetings,
various outside speakers discuss a variety of aspects ranging from career opportunities and practicing
food animal veterinary medicine abroad to new products and field experts. Overall, this club
will provide you with a great opportunity to learn more about food animal medicine
and husbandry while making new friends and having a lot of fun.
