Jack Hanna comes to OSU CVM!

Being the loyal Buckeye fan that I am and dedicated veterinary medical student, I thought I would share this with you! 
In September, Jack Hanna and the crew from “Into the Wild” (a television series featuring Jack Hanna and his family on their adventures, unscripted, as they travel all 7 continents and records various animals and cultures) were at The Ohio State University Veterinary Medical Center taping a segment for their show!!! It aired in December and again a few weekends ago. 

The segment shows Jack Hanna and his crew meeting Dr. Alicia Bertone, professor of Equine Orthopedic Surgery, who showed them around the equine facilities. Dr. Bertone discussed different diagnostic methods for osteoarthritis in horses as well as a new clinical trial for horses with OA that she is currently working on. 

I recently just had Dr. Bertone for a few of my musculoskeletal lectures. She is a brilliant veterinarian and I’m looking forward to doing this in about a year!

Check out the YouTube segment! It’s only 6 minutes and shows off my school!

Celebration: Finally accepted!!!! OSU CVM C/O 2014!

This is how the letter starts:
