2012 Mini-Vet School

Due to unanticipated circumstances, there will not be a 2012 Mini-Vet school at the University at Buffalo this fall. The Niagara Frontier Veterinary Society plans to continue a similar valuable education program in 2013 at Medaille College. If you wish to be placed on a mailing list for next year or are interested in becoming a sponsor please forward an e-mail to info@nfvs.us. Information will be available next summer on the NFVS website.


UB School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences invites anyone who wants to learn about veterinary medicine and the connection between research and the advances in veterinary care to enroll in this lecture series.

Plans for the 2012 Mini-Vet School are underway and will be posted once completed. We’ve included info on the 2011 program so you have an idea what this informative program is all about.

Participants in the Mini-Vet School will meet and hear some of the most dynamic speakers from among the accomplished veterinarians in Western New York.

Mini-Vet School graduates will receive a certificate attesting to the completion of 10 hours of veterinary science.

The beneficial effects of living with devoted and playful pets on the physical and psychological well-being of their owners have been well-documented. At the same time, pet owners are committed to maintaining the good health and happiness of their faithful pets.

An important part of these beneficial reciprocal relationships between humans and animals are the dedicated, competent practitioners of veterinary medicine who strive with consummate training and skill to cope with the myriad of diseases and injuries that affect these animals.

Where people and science meet
In UB’s Mini-Vet School, you will learn about the causes and treatments of the conditions that affect your pets, as well as some of the latest advances in veterinary medicine.

The Mini-Vet School is a five-week series of lectures by accomplished and dynamic veterinarians from Western New York. For two hours each Thursday evening, they lead you on a fascinating journey of discovery. Each lecture will be a “course” in a subject covered in veterinary school.

Graduates of the Mini-Vet School will not be eligible to practice veterinary medicine, but will have a better understanding of their pets’ health!
