Hello everyone!

I was looking through the course curriculum for UF and saw they have a class called End of Life Issues in Vet Med. I wanted to know if other vet schools have students take classes like this as well, I mean I would assume so. But is there a class dedicated to it? Euthanasia is a pretty important topic in my opinion. UF also has a vet med business management class, do other schools have that too? It seems like a great course if students want to open up their own practice. Thanks in advance!

Any other schools?

Purdue has an ethics class first semester of first year and a few business classes third year. Most schools (Purdue included) have a VBMA club, which teaches you business-related skills.

Mississippi state has a class during your first year called Professional Developement that teaches you business-y things.

With that said, definitely choose schools you're applying/accepted to on more than just course offerings. They're all pretty much similar.
