Scrub Squad: First Year Vet School Support That Actually Gets It

First year vet school is brutal. Between overwhelming coursework, anatomy that feels impossible, and imposter syndrome screaming in your ear, you're probably wondering if you made a huge mistake.

You didn't.

Scrub Squad is first-year vet student support designed for real life. We're not here with toxic positivity or empty motivational quotes. We're here with actual study hacks that work, mental health real talk, survival strategies from vets who've been exactly where you are, and proof that every single person in your cohort is panicking too—they're just hiding it better.

What You Get in Scrub Squad:

Study strategies that actually stick. Real mental health check-ins when things get dark. Win celebrations (even the small ones). Breakdown support at 2 AM. The inside scoop on what professors don't tell you. A crew of first-year vet students going through the exact same chaos, so you know you're not losing it alone.

First Year Vet School is Hard. We Make It Less Lonely.

You belong here. Even when your brain tells you otherwise. Even at 2 AM in the library. Even when everyone else looks like they have it figured out (spoiler: they don't).

Join Scrub Squad. You're one of us now.
