October 19, 2017: lecture to vet students at the Purdue Vet School:
Comment from an attendee: “I very much enjoyed your talk and was glad I could attend. I thought your content was relevant and useful. The addition of your stories helped to make it more memorable.”
Another comment from an organizer: “We enjoyed hearing your stories and it really brought to light some mistakes that new grads make. It is so helpful to hear from a vet who has been through it and who can tell us these first hand stories. We really appreciate you sharing your valuable advice that will undoubtedly help all of us in the future!”
Comment from an attendee: “I like Dr. Zeltzman’s stories, they provided concrete evidence and kept me engaged. I also liked that he didn’t harp on one topic too long, we kept moving.”
