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.
