“Paws Up” – brought to you by the PVM Wellness Committee

Purdue DVM Class of 2026
Purdue DVM Class of 2026

This week the whole DVM Class of 2026 cohort is being recognized for work they are doing in the Purdue University Veterinary Hospital. A staff member wanted to acknowledge the class for their ongoing attention to detail, sharing that the DVM Class of 2026 does an amazing job with clinical pathology procedures and values making sure all samples are handled with care. This, in turn, helps with timely inputting of results into the Hospital Information System and plays a vital role in supporting seamless hospital operations that contribute to the highest quality of care for patients.

Is there someone at PVM you would like to acknowledge today? Please take a moment to submit a Paws Up nomination for that person. Any PVM staff, faculty, student, or team may be nominated by anyone in our college. It’s easy to do! Just follow this link to complete the simple nomination form. In doing so, you help foster a healthy work environment by expressing appreciation and gratitude. Submissions are published anonymously and may be edited for style and length.
