Idiopathic Issues

Holidays are over; NAVLE scores are back, and now its time to make one of the most important decisions of your life if you applied for an internship:  Ranking The Programs in the Veterinary Internship and Residency Matching Program (VIRMP).  The irony of it all is that at the end of the day, you don’t have too much control over the process. 

Everywhere you go, and everywhere you look, people are on their phones.  Technology continues to advance and more apps and information are available to us.  I believe there is a time and a place for cell phones, but what about at work?  That is the last place that I would say you should use your cell phone.  But, I must say that there are some wonderful veterinary apps that can be very useful in clinical practice!

YES!  More Vet Students passed the NAVLE using VETPREP!

We LOVE it when we receive messages like the ones below!  Our twitter account was flooded with some great posts and it just confirms that we know we are helping so many future veterinarians pass their boards!  

Are you a student who is preparing for the NAVLE?   Have you heard of VetPrep?  Did you know we have a 99% pass rate?!

Well don't take our word for it alone, the proof is in the pudding.

As vets, we take great pride in our successes, and for good reason. Helping a pet to beat the odds and outlive all expectations is what we hope to do every day. We put stories of these examples on our webpages and post updates to social media. It is a euphoric feeling to celebrate milestones, birthdays, and holidays with these clients and the pets that would not have been there if not for the treatments that we can provide.

I have seen a lot of conflicting reports about the veterinary job market over the past couple of years. One report will say that the outlook is great and tremendous growth is expected in our profession. Others will say that we are graduating too many veterinarians and the job market is becoming saturated, resulting in less pay for veterinarians.  With increasing amounts of student debt, this is a recipe for these new graduates to be buried in loans they can't pay back. Well, which is it? Good economics or bad? What can we expect in our profession for this year, and what can you do as a veterinary student to make sure you are competitive when you graduate?
