Path to Practice is an annual student opportunities and jobs fair hosted by MVMA as a benefit to our members. The event brings together 2nd, 3rd, and some 4th year students from the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine and representatives from up to 27 clinics/organizations. 

We are looking for a wide range of clinics/organizations including small, mixed, and large/food animal, as well as equine exclusive research, public health, and wildlife. Space is limited and spots for some clinic types fill faster than others. 

This is an unmatched free opportunity for MVMA members to meet with veterinary students who are looking for externships, internships, jobs, and/or summer opportunities, and make important connections as they think about the next chapter of their lives.

The event begins with lunch, followed by time for you to speak with students in groups as they mingle and move across the various clinic/organization tables. The goal of this time is for students to get an overview of participating clinics/organizations and learn about your practice and what you offer for internships, externships, full time positions, etc. The final portion of the event is reserved for one-on-one conversations, giving you the opportunity to speak more in depth with students interested in a professional opportunity.

Reach out to the MVMA office at [email protected] with any questions.

Student registration will open in early 2026.
