veterinarian from the
Manheim area. Dr. Edelson

Sandy Winters, 'a. fcara
veterinary medical
technician.
This year’s club became
organized in January and
has held four meetings
since that time. Each
meeting has been organized
around a different phase of
veterinary medicine with the
youths hearing speakers on
veterinary medical
education as well as ob
serving ' small animal
surgery.
When Lancaster Farming
visited the group on Tuesday
evening (March 11) they had
gathered at the Atlantic
Breeder’s Coop in Lancaster
to hear Dr. Chris Barton
speak on his bovine medical
practice.

enrolled in the group do not
have rural backgrounds and
a large percentage of them
are young ladies who have
found veterinary medicine to
be of interest.
These students, who come
from all over the County, do
have a genuine interest in
veterinary medicine and are
highly academically in
clined. In fact their questions
have at times left the
speakers somewhat
bewildered. Most of the
young people have shown an
interest in starting pre
veterinary work following
their graduation from high
school.
“Years ago it was very
difficult for a girl to be ac
cepted into vet school but
now the ratio has become
more equalized.”
“These young ladies are
really interested and have
come to find out just what
the profession is all about.”
Of course not every young
person involved in the
Veterinary Explorer Post
will go on to become
veterinarians as the com
petition to be accepted into
vet school is quite keen;
however, the career ex
posure they are getting now
will no doubt help them to

Just what do these young
people learn? Dr, Edelson
explained the program in
this manner.
“The program helps to
familiarize young people
with veterinary medicine.
They learn just what is in
volved in the work and also
what opportunities are open
to them if they do not go into
vet school.”

Many of the interested
students in the group arc
young ladies who have
shown interest in the
profession. When asked what
seemed to be the attraction,
Sandy Winters the co
advisor explained it in this
manner.

decide Just what branches of
animal work they would like
to go into.
As most people know,
veterinarians are always
quite busy and thus it seems
difficult to understand how
they could take time just
to talk to students. But Dr.
Edclson commented on the
situation by explaining,
“i’vc always felt that if I
could help someone un
derstand their animals, the
animals would be better off
and so would the owner."
"These young people are
interested and we’d
definitely like the program
to continue.”
The group has four more
meetings until May which
will include talks on equine
practice and public health
along with a trip to the New
Bolton Center.
Whether they choose to go
on to be veterinarians or not,
being a member of the
Veterinary Explorer Post
509 has at least allowed them
to learn just what the
profession is all about.
