The University of Florida’s Veterinary Community Outreach Program, or VCOP, at the College of Veterinary Medicine provides valuable synergy between veterinary education and supporting local animal welfare. Veterinary students gain crucial hands-on surgical and medical experience while simultaneously offering services that reduce pet overpopulation, improve shelter animal health, facilitate adoptions, and educate the community on responsible pet ownership. On this show, Dr. Simone Guerios, a clinical assistant professor who works with VCOP, will discuss how the program benefits not only the students’ clinical training but also the local sheltering community by increasing access to quality veterinary care, controlling animal populations, and promoting animal welfare practices.
