Membership:
The Student Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Society (SVECCS) is an interactive organization for veterinary & veterinary technician students interested in the growing field of small animal emergency and critical care medicine. Yearly membership dues are $10, which entitles students to free dinner at meetings and wet labs.

ICU Shadowing:
A unique feature of this club is the opportunity for members to participate in ICU Shadowing. This program involves gaining exposure to emergency and critical cases through occasional shifts in the veterinary college's small animal intensive care unit. Students are able to assist with restraint, treatments, and monitoring of patients; at the same time, they learn about disease processes and patient progression through interaction with clinicians, technicians, and junior/senior students.

Meetings and Wet Labs:
SVECCS also holds bimonthly meetings featuring discussions on such subjects as orthopedic emergencies, common exotic animal emergencies, equine dystocia, CPR, Tylenol toxicity and management of the blocked cat.
"Wet labs," geared to instructing members on a variety of emergency procedures such as CPR and feeding tube placement, are offered to students several times each academic year.

IVECCS
Student members have the opportunity to attend the annual International Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Symposium. This year the symposium will take place on September 26-30 in New Orleans, LA. Come to meetings or go to http://iveccs.org for more information.

Small Animal Critical Care Conference:

SVECCS is also responsible for the organization of the annual MSU CVM Small Animal Critical Care Conference. This conference is open to clinicians seeking continuing education credits in the field. SVECCS members are encouraged to help in the organization of the event.

SVECCS Membership: $10/year
