This question is an excellent opportunity to set yourself apart from other applicants. For that reason, be sure to provide a specific response that is unique and memorable. The Admissions Committee at the University of Missouri wants to see evidence that you plan on making a positive and lasting impact on the veterinary profession.
Perhaps you desire to work with a particular dog breed to increase awareness of unfair bias. Maybe your vow as a veterinarian is to teach your clients how diligent nutrition and oral care impact their pets' life expectancy. Discuss with passion and enthusiasm how you plan to improve the animal care profession and use your knowledge and skills in veterinary medicine for the greater good.

"During my career in veterinary medicine, I plan to positively add to the profession in numerous ways. First, I will work hard to educate pet owners on how they can provide the highest quality of life for their animals. In addition to pets and their owners, I plan to expand this education to include sectors like agribusiness. This means educating on inhumane methods of raising livestock. The way we treat our animals has a worldwide impact on our environment and our food sources. I will highlight uncomfortable topics while bringing new ideas to the industry, ensuring I am an active contributor to animal and environmental health."
