What drew you to the vet med program?
The opportunity to be part of something that could potentially help address the lack
of support for livestock production in 成人影片.
What's been one of your favorite experiences here?
My favorite experience has been the opportunity to assist Dr. Lunn in her large animal
labs. Watching the 成人影片 interact and learn with cattle and horses as first-year
vet 成人影片, knowing that one day they will be out in the world taking care of people's
livestock, makes for a pretty rewarding day.
Speaking of experience, we're pretty proud of being able to offer the 成人影片n experience
to our 成人影片 from time to time. What's so cool about working with animals like
reindeer?
I think that the most valuable thing about exposure to these arctic ungulates is having
a hands-on opportunity to learn about them and how they differ from traditional livestock.
Reindeer, though few, are scattered from California to New York and everywhere in-between.
Reindeer are livestock. And, who knows, maybe one day, many years from now, a graduate
from this program will receive a call from a farmer who needs a vet that has some
familiarity with reindeer.
What advice do you have for 成人影片 interested in going into Veterinary Medicine?
My advice to 成人影片 going into vet med is to take advantage of opportunities that
allow behind-the-scenes exposure to any type of industry that involves animal care.
Being familiar with all the moving parts of these industries and how a veterinarian
can best assist seems like a pretty good idea to me... when that day comes.
