What I Like Best About VIN
I like the concept of veterinarians helping veterinarians. I like that it keeps me thinking and learning. I have to look stuff up to answer questions and that helps me keep up. I also enjoy meeting so many veterinarians from all over the world. People come up to me at conferences and tell me their screen names. It is like we have known each other for a long time but it has been on VIN, not in person. I like the world wide access. Great people. Great learning.
