AVC Class of 2023 joins the veterinary profession

If you were to describe the Atlantic Veterinary College (AVC) Class of 2023 in one word, it could be “resilient.”

Fast forward to today, this resilient group triumphed, making their official entry into the profession of veterinary medicine on May 16, 2023.
