Public Health Vet Careers!
A video was established to give veterinary students the opportunity to learn more about public practice career opportunities from a panel of veterinarians with a wide variety of experience in this important area of veterinary medicine. Each panel member gives a brief overview of their career, the path they followed into public practice, and career guidance. A link to the full video (1 hour, 38 minutes) is available at the bottom of this page. A transcript is available with the video.
While we consider it best to watch the full video for context and general advice, we have included direct links to each speaker's presentation for those students who may have specific areas of interest.
