Mini Vet School | Niagara Frontier Veterinary Society

Mini-Vet School is a five-week series of lectures by the most accomplished and dynamic veterinarians in Western New York. For two hours each week, they will lead you on a fascinating journey of animal discovery.

Each Mini-Vet School lecture is a “course” in a subject covered in veterinary school. Classes run for five weeks on Tuesday evenings, October 1, 2024 to October 29, 2024, from 7:00-9:00 pm on the Daemen University campus, 4380 Main Street, Amherst, NY, in Schenck Hall, Room 107.

For ages 14 and up. Some classes are interactive so smart phones/i-Pads are suggested. Printed materials are available for purchase of $10 paid at class time.

Mini-Vet is designed for animal lovers, pet owners, someone interested in a career in veterinary medicine, etc. Some topics will include first aid, Zoo veterinary, stray cats, Dermatology, and aquarium life.

Animals have a documented beneficial effect on our physical and psychological well-being. Educating ourselves on animal health can help ensure that our beloved companion pets and wild animals receive the best care possible.

Mini-Veterinary School graduates will not be eligible to practice veterinary medicine, but will have a better understanding of animals’ health! They will, however, receive a certificate attesting to the completion of 10 hours of veterinary science.
