Have you been delving into any veterinary sciences newspapers, journals, or publications during your undergraduate studies to prepare for veterinary school?
Veterinarians have many organizations, journals, and publications at their disposal to learn from and grow throughout their careers. The interviewers at Kansas State University want to see that you have a keen interest in continually learning your craft by hearing you talk about any resources you have dove into in preparation for veterinary school.
"Over the past two years, I have read Vet Practice Magazine and Science Daily as regularly as possible. In addition to these resources, I also recently subscribed to Today's Vet. 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 in the industry, especially for veterinary students?"
Veterinary medicine is ever-changing, and the faculty at Kansas State University are well aware of this fact! Discuss how you have tried to stay up to date on industry trends, breakthroughs, social concerns, and more during your undergraduate training. If you can, list a few veterinary-related medical journals that you like to read and discuss how often you dive into news related to animal science. Perhaps you even subscribe to a particular magazine or blog or follow certain social media accounts. You can also 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!
