“What I really loved about the Banfield Student Job Program is that it allowed me to work through real-life cases and develop the veterinary skills that I know I will use daily in my career. The hospital team was very welcoming. They made sure that all my questions were answered, and they were happy to help me when I wanted to learn more about any condition, technique or even a work-up that was done in the hospital. Now working on cases in school or at work, I find myself continuing to use the skills I learned in my student job program.”
