This issue shows that veterinary medicine has countless paths: mobile practices, lean startups, employee-first clinics, wellness-only models, even five-star hospitals in Dubai. The common thread? Professionals spotting a need and building the solution.
Weâre also tackling the conversations that matter: the affordability crisis, the future of feline medicine, and why conservationis essential. Plus a sweet save by the vet team at UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine!
