The VSCP is designed to provide a support system for new employees to
ensure a smooth transition into Federal service. The program can maximize
developmental opportunities so participants are ready to meet the challenges
of public veterinary health in our fast-paced society. The VSCP is being
expanded to include additional professions beyond the veterinary field.

"This program was an excellent orientation to a very exciting
and rewarding career with USDA. The program provided me with the basics
required to function as a public services veterinarian. The training
consisted of an orientation class, a significant diseases class, and
introduction to epidemiology; and to complete the training we conducted
a field exercise in Alabama . Each respective class
was very important in the development of my career with APHIS. This
program also provides an invaluable network of colleagues that I rely
on heavily today. Even though it was an orientation training program,
this program paved the way for more advanced training and additional
career development."
