Career Resources
Arkansas State University and the College of Veterinary Medicine can connect you with valuable resources to assist you in launching your veterinary career.
Job Boards
The “Becoming a Veterinary Professional” series within our curriculum will expose our students to the multitude of career opportunities and advanced training opportunities available. A CVM graduate may practice clinical veterinary medicine once they 1) successfully pass the North American Veterinary License Exam (NAVLE®) and 2) obtain a state license.
The following job boards may be helpful to our DVM graduates:
- Handshake, the official A-State Career Development and Engagement website for job postings.
- American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) Career Center
- Arkansas Veterinary Medical Association Job Board
If you are an employer who would like to post a job advertisement for our A-State students on Handshake, please contact Career Development and Engagement.
