Studying for the NAVLE® is in fool swing and we see many of you taking pictures of your studying habits on social media sites. It's amazing how studying has changed in just a few short years now that we have apps at our finger tips whether be it a laptop or a smart phone.
Below is my story of how I used to study, and when you are done, I have a challenge for you! You are probably doing it already!
How I Studied for the NAVLE® 20 Years AgoRecently, I joined VetPrep to become the new Veterinary Program Manager. It's heartwarming to be part of a team that is so dedicated to mentoring the next generation of veterinarians. Back in the day, when I was a senior student studying for boards, we didn't have the study resources like you have today. This was before the turn of the century - 1999 - and the concept of being able to pull out a smart phone, open an app with the touch of a finger and study on the fly was not even fathomable! Being at the barn with the horses was my escape from the stress of clinical rotations. I spent countless hours there pouring over textbooks and desperately trying to cram in the knowledge I needed to pass The Big Test. Kept company by the sound of shuffling feet and munching hay, I'd have books spread in a giant circle around me and a handful of highlighter pens every color of the rainbow. I still have some of those old books, archaic as they are now and covered in all kinds of yucky animal stuff! Somehow I managed to get through it all and you will too! Only now, you have us here at VetPrep as a study companion and resource. Andrea Dover |
