Picture this: You're standing in the world's largest veterinary exhibit hall, resume in hand, talking to the practice manager of your dream specialty hospital. Behind you, international speakers are presenting on techniques that won't hit textbooks for another two years. Your phone buzzes with a text from your classmate three aisles over who just found a company offering paid externships in wildlife medicine. Tonight, you're meeting up with both of them plus the rest of your crew for tacos and stories about the day's discoveries.
