Written Language in Veterinary Clinics Interview
Veterinary medicine is a continuously growing field that heavily relies on writing and written language as a method of communication, and functionality (personal communication, February 19, 2018). There is no better way to understand this than to dive into the depths of this complex community and speak to the people who work in it.

This semester, I had the opportunity to interact with many different people in my field of interest.
