Testimonials(9)

• "I personally loved all the different types of specialists we met. I had no idea there were so many different branches a veterinarian can go into. The program only further confirmed who I want to be and what I want to do in life. The visit to the pet hospital was especially educational. That hands-on experience allowed me to see first hand the kind of work vets do on a daily basis."

• "The Vet Medicine program was truly such an incredible experience I learned so much on how to read x-rays, detect pain and treat the animal when injured. All teachers were amazing and gave great advice on how to succeed in the profession. Class was always so fun and I was constantly interested in everything that was discussed. The field trips to Blue Pearl Animal Hospital and Southwick Zoo were incredibly informative and such a blast. I am so grateful to have had this amazing opportunity. It definitely made me realize that this is exactly the profession I want to do. Definitely an experience I will never forget! "

• "Everyday a new teacher would come in and teach us about their specialty. What I liked most was the fetal pig dissection and some of the other labs we did. I also really liked touring Blue Pearl because I got to see some of the things we talked about earlier in the program."
