The HSVMA awards three scholarships annually to students who attend an American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA)-accredited veterinary school in the United States, Canada, the Caribbean, or the United Kingdom. Recipients are ranked first place ($3,000), second place ($2,000), and third place ($1,500), Morady being named the first-place recipient. They recognize students who show dedication and commitment to animal welfare, animal rights, or animal protection issues, and have the determination to make a difference in the veterinary profession.
鈥淚t is truly an honour to be recognized by the HSVMA for my efforts in promoting animal welfare at AVC,鈥� says Morady. 鈥淚 could never have imagined coming in first place in a highly competitive, international award.鈥�
Morady has been an executive member of the AVC Animal Welfare Club since 2019. In addition, he competed in the AVMA Animal Welfare Assessment Contest in 2020 and recently secured a two-week rotation at the Montreal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals for one of his fourth-year clinical rotations. During this rotation, he will focus on shelter animal welfare and management, and sterilization and vaccinations of surrendered animals and pets living in lower socioeconomic households.
鈥淥nce I complete my DVM, I plan to continue fighting for animal welfare,鈥� says Morady. 鈥淎nimals can鈥檛 speak for themselves, so they depend on our goodwill to help them. I aim to promote this goodwill in those around me to help these innocent creatures.鈥�
