Veterinarians have a plethora of associations, journals, and publications that they can take part in to stay on top of their game in their careers. The team at the Auburn University veterinary medicine school wants to hear that you have a keen interest in continually learning your craft and that you've hopefully already taken some interest in exploring some of them before applying to vet school.

"Right now, I'm preparing to submit for membership in the student AVMA. Throughout my undergraduate program, I read Vet Practice Magazine and Science Daily regularly. In addition to these resources, I also liked to read the TVP articles available online. It's important to diversify where your news comes from, and I would love some fresh suggestions. What are your favorite places for news on current trends?"

List a few veterinary-related medical journals you have explored up to this point and discuss how often you dive into news related to animal science. Perhaps you subscribe to a particular magazine or blog or follow certain social media accounts. Now is a great time to discuss any veterinary-related associations you plan to join as a student. It's also a great idea to ask the interviewers about their favorite ways to stay in touch on industry-related current events. Asking this question in return can make for great dialogue, and you never know what you will learn!
