The Shelter Medicine Club, founded in 1999, is an official student chapter of the Association of Shelter Veterinarians.

Its role is to create opportunities for veterinary students to learn and become involved with shelter medicine. Among other activities, the club:

• sponsors evening lectures regarding a variety of shelter medicine-related topics,
• organizes Saturday clinics (schedule and location vary) to give veterinary students the chance to practice being a clinician in a shelter setting,
• participates in many fundraising events including the annual Tompkins County SPCA March for Animals. 

The Shelter Medicine Student Club is open to all students at the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine.
