First Vet School Conference!

This weekend marked my first veterinary Conference!  Some parts were boring, but all in all, I think it was a worthwhile experience.  I feel pretty energized and reinvigorated about the fact that in 4 years, no, make that 3.5 years, I get to be a veterinarian!
The Veterinary Business Management Association (VBMA) conference was held in Orlando, Florida at the North American Veterinary Conference. As someone who wants to one day own her own small animal clinic long term and is concerned with finding great job after graduation, this conference was just right for me.  I made several great contacts, got some good resources, and learned about some techniques to enhance my networking skills. I am currently a first year representative in the VBMA at my school, but I think I would like to get more involved next year.
Non-educational highlights included: getting to have dinner with three amazing Florida friends on Saturday night at Bahama Breeze and getting to go to Disney’s Magic Kingdom on Sunday night with my conference roommates.  You never get too old for Space Mountain.  Both nights were a blast.  I am now really looking forward to the conference I am headed to in March.
