Reanne, veterinary medicine student at the University of Liverpool

What do you enjoy most about the course?

Every animal is different, no day is the same and every minute is a learning experience. Whilst studying I have learnt so much about myself, veterinary, communication and other vital transferable skills! The course has given me the privilege to travel the UK and abroad, as well as meet people from different backgrounds. The course encourages you to think about the health and welfare of animals, clients and the wider public. Furthermore, the course has seen my level of understanding improve greatly over the years, with the environment created only making me more eager to expand my knowledge. More importantly, there is a strong sense of community between peers on the course, you all help and support each other – you are never alone!

Are you interested in following a particular career path?

I would really like to spend some time in first opinion small animal practice working after graduation. In my spare time would like to volunteer in the charity sector; where there is a need I would like to try and help.

Any other future plans?

The world is my oyster! That’s why I love this course so much. The career opportunities are so vast and varied. My current interest is cardiology.

Is there anything else you would like to tell us about veterinary medicine?

It does not matter your age, your race, your ability, or your sexual orientation – the veterinary profession really is for everyone, and I’m proud to be a part of it.
