Students have their day on the Hill
Students spent part of their time in lectures on such topics as effective lobbying tactics, the legislative process, and the current political climate. Later, they took to Capitol Hill to seek support for funding the National Veterinary Medical Service Act. The law established a program providing student debt relief to veterinarians who agree to work in underserved areas. The program should start accepting the first applicants this year. (Editor's note: NVMSA later received a $2.95 million appropriation in the omnibus spending bill.) | ||
