Med Occs Motto

"For learning to take place with any kind of efficiency, students must be motivated. To be motivated, they must become interested. They become interested when they are actively working on projects which they can relate to their values and goals in life." - Gus Tuberville

     surgery or veterinary, I will place you in those areas.

     to write these up and create a shopping list.  Fun and easy recipes/food combinations welcome!
