Matt discusses the process to becoming a veterinarian.

Edgeucation with Emmanuel Arias and Stephen Nicholson is a show that focuses on education in our community. On this episode they interview Matt Garbe, who is a Pre-Veterinary Medicine student at Pierce College. Matt discusses the process to becoming a veterinarian. He talks about the challenges that he faces and the Pre-Vet program on campus. He says he plans to achieve a Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine. Matt talks about how having to make time for work, travel and friends can be tough for students. He also shares that he has an allergy to cats, but that he will still pursue his career goals. As Matt will be able to tell us, becoming a veterinarian is difficult and challenging, however, it is a rewarding job and allows people to make positive changes to the owner’s lives. When becoming a vet, there is a lot to learn. One of the most in-demand services for veterinarians is conducting ultrasounds for pregnant pets. This is something that a lot of people require vets for, so it’s vital that students like Matt are receiving appropriate training with equipment that they would use to see if an animal was pregnant. Nowadays, many vets make use of portable ultrasounds from websites like https://www.butterflynetwork.com/vet/overview. Those ultrasounds make it easier for vets to see if the animal is pregnant, allowing the owner to prepare. This is an important service that vets offer, so it’s important that students learn about this on campus. That’s only one of their jobs though, there are so many other things that a vet must know before they can become independent.
