Adapting to Online Veterinary School with Morgan Gunn and Carley Johnson
Show Notes

"I always laughed in the past like, 'You could never do vet school online. You have to do labs multiple times a week, we need to learn to suture, we need to learn to do surgery…' And I just remember having this moment of fear when they were like, 'online vet school.' And I wasn’t sure what that was going to look like." 

Being a veterinary student is hard enough with keeping up with coursework, attending labs, gaining surgical skills and securing externships. When Texas A&M University College of Veterinary Medicine closed its physical campus in the spring semester of 2020 due to the pandemic, students were faced with additional challenges and forced to adapt to these changes. Second-year veterinary student Morgan Gunn and third-year veterinary student Carley Johnson discuss how they adjusted, honed their surgical skills at home, stayed connected with their peers and networked with future employers.
