Don Low Fellowship

Fellowship Description

All applications must be completed electronically. Deadline for 2023-24 applications is December 22, 2022 by 5pm (PDT). 

​

• A committee with representatives from the CVMA and the UC Davis faculty review applications and select finalists

• Selected practitioner fellows are expected to spend a minimum 20 days in the program. Finalists will be paired with a faculty mentor in their area of interest (service) to refine a proposal describing what they hope to achieve during their fellowship. This step is critical so both you and the faculty know what your goals are, and we know those goals can be met within the fellowship experience.

• Provides opportunity to learn in the clinical setting of the William R. Pritchard Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, other school programs, laboratories, and centers such as the Veterinary Medical Teaching and research Center, and through interactions with faculty, residents and students.

• The selected practitioner fellows will start their fellowship in August 2023.

• SVVMA asks members to do a 5-10 minute presentation of their experience to members at a meeting following their completion.
