Welcome to episode #10 of Scrubbed In: The DVM Journey – the podcast where we dive into the wild, rewarding, and sometimes unpredictable world of becoming a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. Today, we welcome Dr. Jacque Pelzer, current Assistant Dean of Student Affairs and Admissions here at the Virginia Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine! Dr. Pelzer discusses her journey to veterinary school (from pro surfer to veterinarian), and how she moved from a solo food animal practitioner to academia when her husband had cancer. Dr. Pelzer and I discuss the unique admissions process here at Virginia Maryland, elements of a stand out application and advice she would give to prospective applicants. And for the current second year veterinary students at Virginia Maryland- stay tuned until the end of the episode for a special message from her to us as we enter our first clinical rotations this summer.
