What I like Most About VSPN

• "Innovative, respected, motivating and 'user friendly' are but a few words I have heard of when colleagues refer to VSPN. It is quite an honor to be able to work with the many teams at VSPN. Enjoy being an instructor and meeting so many new people sharing the same passion as I do for the veterinary community. I am surprised by the strong, virtual relationships that transpire and continue to grow"
