Why are you a member of IVSA?
That is an excellent question. I first joined IVSA during the Pandemic, when we could not meet in person with our colleagues; at that time, I did not have many expectations for it. Right away, I noticed how amazing IVSA was, allowing Veterinary Students worldwide to connect, share ideas and knowledge, and, most importantly, learn with each other. That is the beautiful thing about IVSA, a group of students from different countries and cultures, all working together with the same goals, all working together to improve Veterinary education worldwide.

ABOUT IVSA
The International Veterinary Students’ Association (IVSA) aims to improve the standard of veterinary education internationally through the exchange of ideas, knowledge and culture. The mission of IVSA is to “benefit the animals and people of the world by harnessing the potential and dedication of veterinary students to promote the international application of veterinary skills, education and knowledge”.
The way in which this is achieved is through our annual international events: congresses and symposia, facilitating exchanges between our members, endorsing events and projects on national and local levels, and many projects and educational opportunities focusing on animal welfare, one health, education, soft skills and wellness.
IVSA helps to expand the worldwide collaboration of over thirty thousand students, enriching their student experience and improving their skills as future veterinarians. It is a non-profit, non-governmental organization founded in 1951 and is also the largest veterinary student association in the world.
