The School of Veterinary Medicine offers opportunities for senior
veterinary students who would like to have a two-six week experience in the
Veterinary Teaching Hospital. Opportunities are available only on a space-available
basis. Everyone who applies and meets the qualifications may not be accepted.
Before being considered, the prospective student must have a completed application
packet on file. When the completed packet is received, faculty members will
be contacted in the area of student interest to secure support to serve as a
mentor. The mentor will provide leadership and mentorship during the time the
student is at Purdue. An evaluation will be provided to the student's home university
upon completion of their program with us. Upon acceptance into the Purdue program,
the student will be provided a Letter of Agreement that must be completed regarding
personal medical insurance, proof of rabies vaccination and professional liability
insurance. If you do not have professional liability insurance, you can purchase
it through Purdue for $13. International students who do not have a DVM degree
are not eligible for this program. If international students have a DVM degree,
they would need to apply to other Purdue programs.
Purdue University is located
in mid-north Indiana, 65 miles northwest of Indianapolis, and 126 miles southeast
of Chicago. Chicago is just northwest of Gary, IN. Greater Lafayette is easily
accessible, whether traveling by land or air. The Purdue University Airport
provides scheduled air service, Amtrak trains make stops in Lafayette en route
to Chicago and Indianapolis, and major bus lines also serve the area. The population
of Greater Lafayette exceeds 70,000, not including Purdue's student population

All students will be coming
to Purdue at their own expense. All housing and any expenses incurred are the

own housing; however, dormitory-style housing may be available at a reasonable
rate in the Graduate House. For information regarding single dormitory housing,
please contact the Young Graduate House Office at (765) 494-7045. The Graduate
