Veterinary Student Engagement
Participate in a SDC Wet Lab at SAVMA
Thanks to support from AVMF, The Street Dog Coalition will be organizing a wet lab at SAVMA Symposium 2025 where veterinary students will have hands-on experience while helping those who otherwise would not be able to afford veterinary care for their beloved pet(s).
Schedule a Presentation
Schedule a presentation on Street Medicine and One Health outreach (in-person or Zoom) for your club, class or school. When feasible, participation and organization of a local street clinic may be included.
Volunteer with an Existing SDC Team
If you’d like to volunteer with an SDC team near you, check out our map and let us know where you’d like to volunteer. This experience will allow you to learn about access to veterinary care issues and continue to engage your examination, diagnostic, and treatment skills.
Start a Street Medicine Club
Potential projects:
> Organize Street Clinics in your community.

Develop a 211 Resource Guide for Your State
A Colorado State University veterinary student developed a resource guide for Colorado 2-1-1 so they can access information for at-risk pet parent seeking pet care resources across the state. If you would like to create a 211 Resource Guide for your state, let us know and we can help you get started.
