Support the Equine Medicine Club

The Equine Medicine Club at UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine exists to provide students in the School of Veterinary Medicine with hands-on, extracurricular exposure to equine medicine, surgery, and reproduction. They are a student chapter of the American Association of Equine Practitioners (SCAAEP).

At NCAEP, we believe in promoting the welfare of the horse through education for future veterinarians. Any donations to the EMC program go directly to supporting opportunities for individuals to pursue equine veterinary interests and advance knowledge in specific areas of study while building community with other members.
