“The cool thing I didn’t realize about veterinary medicine was how varied of a path you can take.”
“You hear about things like lab animal medicine and public health, but you can also go into animal welfare, general practice, large animal, small animal, equine, public policy, or research and you can study and work anywhere in the world.”
