Proficiency in Theriogenology Award

The Proficiency in Theriogenology Award, sponsored by the Society for Theriogenology, is a student award given annually to one senior at each veterinary school/college in the United States and Canada who has illustrated proficiency in clinical theriogenology.

The faculty (ACT diplomates and others involved in teaching theriogenology) at each school/college select a graduating senior to receive the award and present the plaque at an appropriate event, such as Senior Awards Day.

Below are criteria for the award selection and a Nomination Form for submission to SFT. The SFT Board of Directors is confident that each school will select a well deserving student and does not participate in the nomination or review process.

A personalized award plaque is shipped to the veterinary school/ college within 10-15 days of nomination.
