Wildlife Docs

On October 18th I was able to attend live stream Q & A session put on by The STEM Exploration and Engagement scholars program. The person we got to take to is Dr. Dominique Keller. Dr. Keller is a veterinarian at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay and is on the show film there called Wildlife Docs. This session was a great opportunity to learn more about her life as a veterinarian and her journey of obtaining a DVM and PHD. We got to learn about what Dr.Keller does on a day to day bases as a zoo veterinarian and what to expect if we choose to become a zoo Veterinarian. We also got talk about how to make yourself a competitive applicant and if you do not get accepted to a school after your first application to not give up and try again. We also talked about challenges of veterinary school and the financial challenges of life after Veterinary school. As a student that is considering Veterinary school it was great to advice from someone how has already gone these challenges as I may face them in my own future career.
