At the University of Florida, College of Veterinary Medicine we are offering a few exciting online courses in the upcoming Summer and Fall semesters that are specifically geared towards students interested in Veterinary Medicine.  Students enrolled at any College or University can take these courses. I was hoping you could forward the information below about these classes to students at your school who have an interest in this field.
