Examination of Motivational Influences on Clinical-Year Veterinary Students' Career Decisions

JOURNAL OF VETERINARY MEDICAL EDUCATION, 50(6), 694–702.

By: S. Lyon *, E. Hofmeister *, K. McCool n , S. Shaver *, K. Diehl * & A. Woolcock *

author keywords: veterinary graduates; veterinary student careers; transition to practice; post-graduate training; career decision
