Topic > Personal Statement: My Interest in Veterinary Medicine

I love building relationships with clients and exploring treatment plans and new options. In particular, I am interested in pain management in senior pets and the medications that play a role in it. Working in a day care practice I have seen many elderly pets in need of such care. I would like to explore avenues of research into pain management practices. I would also like to explore equine lameness. As an avid horseman, I understand the importance of proper shoeing and maintenance of a horse's feet. I want to better understand injury prevention and innovative ways to improve lameness in a horse. All the experiences I had in different animal clinics gave me practical experience. I will be able to enter veterinary school knowing how to calculate drug dosages, set up an IV catheter, manage critically ill patients, and communicate with owners. Being prepared with this knowledge will allow me to further my studies and get the most out of my school years. I will be better prepared as a new doctor of veterinary medicine to handle real-world situations. I look forward to studying what I love and contributing to my community through veterinary medicine
