An essay by third-year student Megan Glaser has won the $1,500 NaturVet Classic scholarship in the name of Dr. Pedro Rivera.
“I was very appreciative of the NaturVet Classic scholarship because it enabled me to be able to attend the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association annual conference in Kentucky October 22-26. At the conference I attended many lectures covering topics such as small animal clinical nutrition, introduction to acupuncture, introduction to chiropractic treatment, herbal medicine, reiki, physical therapy, and massage. These lectures confirmed that I would love to become certified in many of these forms of medicine, while also providing information for my senior project on advantages and disadvantages of feeding raw diets to cats and dogs. I also made valuable connections with holistic veterinarians. I look forward to attending more AHVMA conferences in the future as a veterinarian.”
