Congratulations to Tori Shouldice for being chosen as the 2024 recipient of the CVMA International Student Leadership Award! Tori attends the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom.

In 2017, the CVMA instituted the CVMA International Student Leadership Award. This award consists of a plaque and a monetary award presented annually to a student who is studying at one of the AVMA-CVMA-COE-accredited schools. Here's a little bit about Tori:

Tori is embarking on her final year in the Veterinary Accelerated Graduate Entry Program at the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom. Her academic journey started at the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada, where she earned her degree in Animal Science. Furthering her education, Tori completed a master’s degree under Dr. Andy Robinson in the Animal Bioscience Department at Guelph. Having spent a decade at Guelph as both a student and staff member, Tori made the decision to pursue her passion for veterinary medicine abroad at Bristol.

During her time at Bristol, Tori has been active in student life, serving as a student ambassador, class representative, and student representative for the National Veterinary Association (NVA). She also established a student chapter of the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association (CVMA) at Bristol. Tori aims to create resources for students to build connections in the Canadian veterinary community, help them discover differences in Canadian veterinary medicine, and facilitate the transition to practice for students studying abroad.

Post-graduation, Tori intends to return to her roots in Ontario to practice Small Animal Medicine in rural communities. She aspires to become a mentor for current and future veterinary students, contributing to the growth and development of the profession.

The SCVMA Committee facilitates the communication between CVMA Council and students at the five Canadian Veterinary Colleges. It is supported by a faculty member who sits on the Student Liaison Advisory Group. The SCVMA Committee may present recommendations to CVMA Council regarding matters concerning the Association and particularly matters of interest to students.
