Student-Doctor Network November 7, 2024– Dr. María Juárez Byrd spoke with Student Doctor Network about the University of Illinois Vet Med Master of Veterinary Science Program. She is an exotic and small animal veterinarian and an Instructor for the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign Certificate of Veterinary Science (CVS) and Master of Veterinary Science (MVS) programs. She discusses how the MVS may be part of a student’s journey to veterinary school or other career paths.
“Our programs help transition students to the intensity of veterinary school courses with an active focus on reducing the stress of evaluations, encouraging students to enjoy the learning process while they develop the critical thinking skills required to excel in graduate or professional school. Students are tasked with learning anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology by working through cases of real patients and clients. Beyond mastering foundational knowledge of anatomy and physiology, the students practice communication skills, spectrum of care, and clinical reasoning required of veterinary professionals.”
