"I really enjoyed the mentorship program at IVS and I'm really grateful that I was chosen to be a part of it. Everyone was very welcoming. The doctors are awesome, they took the time to explain the cases to me and answer any questions I had. The technicians are such a great team, they really taught me a lot about patient care and all the technical aspects of emergency and specialty medicine. All the rest of the staff were great as well. I learned so much about emergency medicine and the specialties during my 8 weeks at IVS and I enjoyed every minute of it! It really is so much different than general day practice and it has really broadened my horizons and interests! I was able to see some interesting cases that we talked about in class and now have real life cases and scenarios to refer to during the rest of vet school. "
