“Having completed the Equine Veterinary Graduate Trainee Program, I feel exceptionally lucky to have this as my first work experience. We dealt with multiple incidents daily, so, I had the opportunity to become acquainted with the operation of a clinic over a short period of time, to evolve my knowledge on a practical and theoretical level and to improve my skills. The veterinary team, came to be a second family to me and immediately created a sense of safety, that every new veterinarian needs during their first footsteps. They always there to offer advice, guide and correct me to improve myself. I feel that the program gave me the basis and qualifications to continue with my veterinary career with more confidence. I am very lucky to have been a member of this team.”

“My work experience at the Racetrack’s Equine Veterinary Clinic was a major milestone in my life and set the guidelines for my professional career. In the clinic the sense was that of a family who with their years-long experience, embraced me and helped me in my first footsteps as a Veterinarian. 
I soon adjusted in the day-to-day of the clinic and its areas and I became acquainted with dealing with the health and welfare of racehorses. I participated in the incidents that came daily, emergency, and routine surgeries and supervised the horses’ trackwork, thus enriching my veterinary knowledge and coming to love these complex and beautiful animals even more. Furthermore, as a veterinarian, I learned how to become involved in the operational and financial administration of a clinic, which is also extremely important.
Finally, I must mention my beloved weekly race meetings, where the veterinary team has a vital role, monitoring, supervising, and caring for the horses. Without a doubt, the Equine Veterinary Graduate Trainee Program is an experience that I am deeply grateful for.”

“I am very grateful that my first job as a veterinarian was at the Equine Veterinary Clinic, as an Equine Veterinary Graduate Trainee!
The EVC Team is a loving family, which embraced me from day one!
Every member has an important role in my development, from the one who is responsible for planning and organizing our daily program, education and Journal clubs, the senior one who is always willing to analyze each case in depth, the demanding one who encourages us to gain an in depth knowledge and the protective one who foresees and prevents our mistakes.
Today, I feel very proud that as a veterinarian I am able to deal with first opinion cases, knowing that I have the trust and support of both the Veterinary Team and the Horse Racing community!”

“The Equine Veterinary Clinic Team has created a safe and caring environment, in which I was able to develop my clinical skills.
I held an active role in numerous EVC cases, including Orthopedics, Internal Medicine, Surgery and Intensive Care cases where both practical and theoretical aspects were explained.
I really enjoyed our open and insightful discussions during our weekly Journal Clubs.
I feel extremely lucky for having the chance to  learn alongside this wonderful Veterinary Team and work in an environment where hundreds of racehorses live and train every day. It was without a doubt a unique learning opportunity!”
