CH2M Hill Alumni Center / Oregon State University March 6-8, 2020
Dear Doctor:
The Oregon Veterinary Conference is an excellent venue for networking with potential employees before they graduate. At last year's meeting we arranged for veterinarians to interview senior students for prospective employment. The interview process was well received by both practitioners and students, and we again will provide you with the opportunity to interview 4th year students at the College of Veterinary Medicine during the 2020 OVC. All interviews will be scheduled for 50 minute blocks.
If you are interested in scheduling student interviews, here's how the process works:
1. Complete the Student Interview Registration Form (page 2) and return it to the Oregon Veterinary Medical Association via fax, mail or e-mail no later than February 17, 2020.
2. The OVMA will compile a list of veterinarians interested in interviewing 4th year students. This list will contain the veterinarian's name, the practice name, contact information, and some general information about the practice.
3. The last week in February we will distribute the list to every 4th year student.
4. Students who sign up for interviews will have resumes available in advance. They can be picked up at the OVC Registration Desk, or, upon request, we can also mail resumes to you in advance. Veterinarians that students choose for an interview will be notified prior to the conference.
5. The OVMA will provide a room at the CH2M Hill Alumni Center for student interviews during the Oregon Veterinary Conference. The Board Room, which is on the second level of the Alumni Center, will be available on the following dates for student interviews:
Friday March 6, 2020 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Saturday March 7, 2020 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Veterinary Student Interview Sign-Up
If you would like to interview 4th year veterinary students from the Carlson College of Veterinary Medicine at Oregon State University during the annual Oregon Veterinary Conference, please complete this form and return it to the OVMA via fax or e-mail no later than February 17, 2020.
The information you provide will be compiled on a list and distributed to 4th year students in mid-February. We will then contact those veterinarians the students are interested in meeting to arrange for an on-site interview at the OVC.
Interviews will take place at the CH2M Hill Alumni Center at Oregon State University from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Friday, March 6 and Saturday, March 7.
