Let's Learn Something!!!

Stream Valley hosts, by pre-arrangement, numerous groups (home school classes, public and private school classes, scout troups) who want to tour the hospital. The age-tailored tours are both fun and educational, often with workbooks and gifts at the end of the tour for a memorable experience. 

Contact our Reception staff for further information or to schedule your group's tour; call (703)723-1017

                                                                                    
Additionally, students in at least their sophomore year of high school may participate in our "Shadowing" program.    With a maximum of two students per doctor per year, we offer one day a week (for one month, ie--4 total days) shadow opportunities, during which students can see and experience some of the daily duties and tasks of a veterinarian.

We are also quite proud of our "Medicine and Small Business Mentoring" programs that young adults ages 15-18 may apply for through their school counselors.

There are three areas of focus to choose from:

1. Medicine and Pharmacology
2. Animal Husbandry and Zoology
3. Hosptitality and Small Business Marketing and Management

During the first half of the school year, the participant will be trained in one of the above disciplines by a "mentor" Stream Valley employee in exchange for part-time work in this same area during the second half of the school year and following summer.  In addition to learning basic skills utilized in these fields of work, the student will complete several small research projects related to these areas of interest for review by the "mentor" group and their school counsler.  It is our hope that we can both expose young adults to the hands-on part of their possible future jobs, as well as help develop their confidence in planning a real world career path.
