We recently caught up with Edward Selvaig to discuss his career journey so far, how he\u2019s been adjusting to his new role at Vets Now Glasgow<\/a> in July as part of the latest cohort of rotating interns<\/a>, and what it\u2019s been like settling into life in a new city.<\/p>\n

What inspired you to pursue a career in veterinary medicine?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I feel like I was slow to decide on being a vet. You hear stories about people who\u2019ve wanted to be vets since they were as young as five, meanwhile when I was that age, I wanted to be a bus driver. Once I gave up on my dream of being a bus driver, I decided to pursue a career in medicine.<\/p>\n

A few diversions later, I wound up studying at the Edinburgh Vet School. It was during my time there that I was fortunate enough to meet some truly inspirational vets who then inspired me to pursue this career. Better late than never I suppose!<\/p>\n

Can you share a bit about your educational background and any previous experiences before joining us?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was born and raised in Malta and lived there for most of my life. Originally, I had applied for medical school but wasn\u2019t accepted, so I read for a BSc in Biology at the University of Malta instead. There isn\u2019t an option to study veterinary medicine back home so when it came to vet school applications, I had to look overseas. I applied to study in the UK, got accepted into Edinburgh, and never looked back!<\/p>\n

Malta unfortunately lacks specialist level care, so seeing the Royal (Dick) Vet School referral hospitals really broadened my perspective of what veterinary medicine could be. Now I am fortunate enough to find myself among another great team that I can learn so much from. Talk about good luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
