This club has taught me so much about the business side of veterinary medicine. In our curriculum we get to take a couple of financial classes, but they don’t compare to the knowledge you learn from this club. We get to cover so many unique topics such as how to brand yourself, how to create a successful Linked In account, how to read and produce business reports, and so much more. All the guest speakers are amazing and donate their time and knowledge to future veterinarians and are always willing to connect outside of the club. Additionally, this club is an excellent way to find out about internship/externship opportunities!
