Grevior Shelter Medicine
Suite dedicated

The University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine is the only veterinary college with a shelter medicine practice integrated within the institution. The Grevior Shelter Medicine Suite was dedicated Feb. 10 with a ribbon-cutting held to honor Barbara and Arnold Grevior, whose support was instrumental in funding the new space.

The Shelter Animal Medicine Clerkship is an elective clinical rotation for junior and senior veterinary students at the UF CVM. The clerkship seeks to assist veterinary students in developing their basic surgical skills through hands-on learning and community outreach.  Among other objectives, the course emphasizes the importance of disease control in shelter situations, reviews vaccination strategies for shelters as well as preventive medicine programs.

Through the HAARTS (Helping Alachua’s Animals Requiring Treatment and Surgery) program, funds are provided to ensure that animals that need medical and surgical treatment beyond routine spay and neuter procedures — animals that would otherwise be euthanized — receive the care they need at UF.

Here are a few photos from the event. For additional photos, check out our album on the college’s Facebook page at:
