Ep. 6- Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion in Veterinary Medicine
On this episode of A Walk on the Wild Side, join host Kyle Kansman (Michigan State 2022 DVM candidate) as he interviews two other incredible veterinary students, Floyd Williams Jr. (Purdue University 2022 DVM candidate) and Hira Basit (University of Florida 2022 DVM candidate and co-founder of Association of Asian Veterinary Medical Professionals) on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the veterinary profession.
