๐ Spotlight On: Jaden S. | DVM Student, University of Calgary ๐
"Following my second year of vet school, I was particularly drawn to emergency medicine and sought an intensive, hands-on clinical experience in this field.
Working at Guardian Vet Centre this summer provided a genuine appreciation for the level of compassion and dedication required from all staff in a high-volume emergency environment. The welcoming and supportive team consistently encouraged my inquiries, making it an exceptional learning environment.
I was privileged to participate in life-saving procedures and practice a wide array of clinical skills essential for my future career. My time spent shadowing both emergency veterinarians and specialists in surgery and internal medicine underscored the importance of collaborative medicine. I gained a deeper respect for the time and commitment necessary to excel in specialized veterinary fields.
This incredibly rewarding experience confirmed my interest in pursuing emergency medicine. I highly recommend this clinic to any student seeking focused, high-impact exposure to emergency veterinary care."
Jaden's experience is a powerful reminder of how rewarding specialized mentorship can be. We can't wait to see you thrive!
