In the beginning we were super excited just to have the first person sign up and I never thought that we'd have more than just a couple of people sign up each day. It's grown way more than we ever would have imagined. I look forward to seeing the innovations and advancements that will push the profession forward as well as helping to contribute to those advancements! Veterinary medicine is a constantly changing field with new drugs, diagnostic tests, and procedures being developed continuously. It's learning how to manage personality conflicts with clients, staff, and colleagues that can be one of the more challenging parts. Practicing the medicine is the easy part of this career. This, alongside my interest in biology, medicine, and helping to make a difference in the community made veterinary medicine a natural fit for me. I've always had a passion for learning about and working with animals. I'm a veterinary oncologist helping people, their pets, and students. So we really feel like we have this opportunity to hopefully support innovation and entrepreneurship among veterinary students specifically and to provide this platform where we can provide mentorship and even some financial support to students that have good ideas and want to put in the work to try to take those ideas and turn them into reality. We feel like we stumbled into becoming entrepreneurs just because we had an idea and wanted to try to solve a small problem and had to figure everything out ourselves without a lot of knowledge and we stumbled a lot of times along the way. I'm looking forward to how technology will connect veterinarians and make us better at our jobs. What excites you the most about the future of veterinary medicine? That no amount of knowledge or experience will allow you to know how your next patient is going to do. What do you know now that you wish you knew in vet school?
