International Veterinary Students Association The International Veterinary Students Association (IVSA) exists to benefit animals and people by harnessing the potential and dedication of veterinary students to promote the international application of veterinary skills, education, and knowledge. IVSA wants to raise the overall standard of veterinary education by increasing international and intercultural exchange of ideas and knowledge by organizing student exchange programs and attending international congresses and symposiums. We also hope to encourage students to undertake education in important areas outside their normal training. Large Animal Society The Large Animal Society strives to enhance the veterinary education by conducting hands-on wet laboratories and lectures significant to large animal profession. Through student representatives from professional organizations such as the American Association of Bovine Practitioners, the American Association of Equine Practitioners, the American Association of Small Ruminant Practitioners, and the American Association of Swine Veterinarians, LAS remains current on all major topics of large animal medicine. An island outreach project provides care for the diverse population of large animals on the island. Public Health Students Association The Public Health Student Association (PHSA) is an organization primarily consisting of MPH, MD/MPH, and DVM/MPH students. Its function is to promote aspects of public health and preventive medicine through education and various activities within the school and broader community.

Past events have included a poverty eradication forum, Woburn community cleanup, Carriacou day trip, etc. School of Veterinary Medicine Surgery Club The School of Veterinary Medicine Surgery Club (SVMSC) will further the knowledge and skills of the student body by introducing students to the basics of surgery as well as advancements and new techniques being applied to surgery.

Student Chapter Of The American Veterinary Medical Association The St. George’s University Student Chapter of the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (SCACVIM) promotes interest in the specialties of cardiology, neurology, oncology, large animal internal medicine, and small animal internal medicine. SCACVIM also supports individuals interested in pursuing residencies and internships in any field by the advancement of knowledge through informative lectures, hands-on wet laboratories, and open forum discussions with our outstanding faculty and visiting professors. Student Government Association (SGA) The SGA has been organized to provide the students at St. George’s University with a structured, democratic body that will represent them in administrative matters, student affairs, and provide representation to the Alumni Association. The organizational goals of the SGA are: 1. Represent student needs and concerns to University administration. 2. Assist the administration with the task of making improvements in SGU. 3. Increase the sense of community and cooperation among the students, faculty and administration of SGU.

SVECCS also offers scholarships, educational reference materials, and gives opportunities for internships in emergency and critical care medicine to members.

School of Medicine Student Organizations better the lives of animals in Grenada and the organizations who serve those animals. The club allows preveterinary students to get together both for fun and to address issues that affect us. We work with other clubs to make the preveterinary program more involved in the School of Veterinary Medicine.

Veterinary Business Management Association The Veterinary Business Management Association (VBMA) is a student-driven organization dedicated to advancing the veterinary profession through increasing business knowledge, creating networking opportunities and empowering students to achieve their personal and professional goals. The VBMA strives to expand student awareness and knowledge through scheduling speakers and organizing seminars to cover relevant topics to veterinary practice that lie outside the current veterinary medical curriculum, with an emphasis on business management, finance, leadership, marketing, law, and communication skills. Veterinary Student Herpetological Society The mission of the Veterinary Student Herpetological Society (VSHS) is to improve veterinary education in herpetological medicine through the exchange of ideas and educational materials, by educating members about Grenada’s unique herpetofauna and by giving members hands-on experience with the club’s live animal collection.
