"We hope that our members establish trusting and lasting partnerships as they share their veterinary experience and knowledge with the future leaders of the veterinary community.

"This outstanding program allows our students to build relationships with practicing veterinarians and explore possible career paths, particularly in private and public practice." said Dr. Gerhardt Schurig, dean of the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine.
