While recently perusing the internet instead of studying, I came across something that chilled me to my very core.  Most people are probably familiar with The Berenstein Bears, a series of books about a family of bears who teach life lessons to young children.

Veterinary School Debt – A Close Look at What We Face

One of my favorite things to do is teach.  At Michigan State University’s CVM, we recently had a group of “VetBound” students come visit us for 6 weeks.  This is a program for undergrads who are seriously considering attending veterinary school after graduation.  I was lucky enough to have two of these students assigned to … Continue reading Veterinary School Debt – A Close Look at What We Face
