About Us

Our mission is to educate students about the journey to veterinary school and the diverse careers in animal care and veterinary medicine. We value hands-on learning and giving back to our community, so we're committed to organizing volunteer opportunities at animal facilities and hosting fundraisers to support animal welfare. As aspiring veterinarians, we're dedicated to making a positive impact on the lives of animals. Join us to gain valuable insights, make meaningful connections, and contribute to the well-being of animals. Lots of exciting events and plans are on the way!

Why Veterinary Medicine?

With over 200 members to date, The YorkU Pre-Veterinary Medicine Club aims to inspire undergraduate students and give them the support in pre-veterinary medicine.

Volunteer

Getting experience in veterinary medicine may be hard. So, we make it easier on our undergraduate club members by offering hands-on volunteer experience and help you get connected in the field.

On November 8th, 2025 the YUPV helped give 70 pets experiencing homelessness and venerability FREE veterinary care in Toronto,Ontario!
