Student Chapter of Reptile and Amphibian Vets

Student Chapter of the Association of Reptile and Amphibian Veterinarians (SARAV) 

The ARAV Student Chapter at Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine connects students with a shared interest in reptile and amphibian medicine, surgery, and conservation. Our mission is to foster education, professional development, and collaboration in the care of these unique species. Through lunchtime lectures, hands-on wet labs, and networking with specialists, we aim to supplement the core curriculum and provide resources for students pursuing careers in zoological, exotic, or wildlife medicine. As part of the national ARAV organization, members gain access to externship and speaker databases, the membership directory, and one complimentary student registration to the ARAV Annual Conference.

Whether you're aiming for a career in zoo, wildlife, or exotic pet medicine—or you're just curious about cold-blooded creatures—ARAV is your gateway to expanding your skills, network, and passion for herpetological health.
