...Although specializing in veterinary medicine has always been my dream, it was not until I was exposed to equine medicine at the Ag Discovery program that I decided that equine orthopedic surgery would be my field of study. I am well aware that veterinary medicine is a challenging and competitive career; but I too recognize that I am a resilient individual who does not shy away from difficult situations. For example, with the Ag Discovery program I was exposed to the stress that veterinarians carried when having to make dire decisions about an animal’s health and learned of the difficulty to enter vet school due to the extensive competition among students. Nonetheless, instead of being discouraged, this program opened my eyes to what I wanted out of the future and molded me into a student prepared to enter college with a set mind and a plan. I believe that the experiences from this program resemble future college experiences. For example, one of the toughest things for students is handling the independence that they gain from living on their own. By experiencing life in a college campus first hand, I discovered valuable aspects of who I am as an individual and evolved into a responsible human being. Moreover, this program exemplified the simplicity with which I adapt to new circumstances and the way in which I cooperate with others. In retrospect, the Ag Discovery program shaped who I am today and opened my eyes to the sundry sacrifices that I will have to make in order to...

The operation management problem that Dr. Barr is currently facing is planning, organizing, and controlling. Planning consist of knowing when to stay open late and when to close the clinic early. Organizing, the current system that she has in place is not adapting to current setting of the clinic for example the overflow on Friday evenings. The Schedule isn’t working for Dr. Barr because demand for her service offered is greater on Fridays than Wednesday. She should switch the days the clinic is open late due to the demand for her services on Friday. Inventory problems always occur when more than one person is doing inventory because mix numbers come out, more than what is needed is ordered and therefore ending up with an excess of that product. The office assistant should be in charge of ordering inventory and it should be taken at least once a week which then, eliminates running out of things and having too much of other stuff and wasting products. Dr. Barr should have switched the schedule around when she noticed the demand for her services were greater on Friday than Wednesdays.

...practitioner can be successful. I ask that you give me the opportunity to utilize my passion and drive to become a veterinarian. When I was seven, my grandparents gave me a horse. From them I learned about feeding, grooming, mucking and riding. Since then I have always been fascinated with farm animals, especially horses. For as long as I can remember I have had a passion for science as well. The application of the principles learned in class requires that you continue to learn. It is the challenge of applying those principles to animal medical issues that has influenced my decision to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. My decision is based on the desire to help animals and to pursue the root causes of the issues found in the ordinary and extraordinary situations a large animal practitioner encounters. I am a highly motivated and methodical person and look forward to the challenges of this difficult coursework and career. At Colorado State University, I was selected to participate in the sought after internship opportunity at Hagyard Equine Medical Institute. Seeking to learn firsthand about the real daily life of a large animal veterinarian, I chose to ride and assist Dr. Ken Canterbury as he made his rounds in the Lexington area. I received first-hand experience of the physically and emotionally demanding duties required of a large animal veterinarian.

Dr. Kristen Arp had worked in corporate medicine for some time and new the value of properly managing her business, but like most veterinarians, did not have a background in software and was concerned about making the right choice. Fortunately, she reached out to the family software developer for assistance. ezyVet was founded in 2006 out of the desire for an intuitive, affordable and customisable software that could cater to Veterinary Practices of all sizes and compositions. Plenty of other software options existed but none seemed to tick all the right boxes. Packages either lacked in feature set or were too confusing to implement successfully into everyday practice. The high cost of the available Veterinary Practice Management (VPM) packages were yet another headache, which made it financially out of reach for a large portion of clinics.
