About SCAVMA
Welcome
Welcome to the Student Chapter of the American Veterinary Medical Association (SCAVMA) at the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine (VMRCVM)! SCAVMA is the largest student organization at our school and is the umbrella organization for all other school organizations. We host monthly president roundtables, organize the annual Open House, and participate in student luncheons with the Dean. We also plan an annual Fall Ball for the school and a fall and spring dog wash. Our chapter also sponsors several awards at the school, including the SCAVMA Distinguished Service Award and SCAVMA Senior Award.
Active membership is open to all full-time veterinary students enrolled in a program of study leading to a DVM from the VMRCVM. Associate membership is open to all students in graduate programs of the VMRCVM.
