Budding young veterinary students descended on the Vistancia Animal Hospital May 26 in north Peoria to get hands-on experience in the field as part of the “Why I Want to Be a Veterinarian” essay contest.
The event was a partnership with the Compassion Pet Hospital and West-MEC that allowed students to work on veterinary case studies with help from professionals within the field.
West-MEC, or Western Maricopa Education Center, is a public career and technical education school district with locations throughout the Valley.
