International Exchange Opportunities for Veterinary Students

SAVMA Chapter of the International Veterinary Student Association

U.S. IVSA Chapters

Any member in good standing of their Student Chapter of the American Veterinary Medical Association is automatically a member of the IVSA.

Each veterinary school MUST have an established IVSA presence. It is established in one of three ways. These are:

• Adding an IVSA component to an already existing international group;
• Establishing a new IVSA organization whose membership is composed of SCAVMA members;
• Elect an IVSA representative to communicate IVSA opportunities IVSA Representatives.

Every school must have an IVSA representative who is a SCVMA member in good standing. This person serves as a liaison between their school, the two IEO's, and the IVEC. They promote IVSA and other international opportunities.

Most IVSA Chapters hold monthly meetings to discuss student travels, promoting international travel opportunities and lectures on internal medicine.
