Dr. Rasmusson had the honor of attending Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine’s White Coat Ceremony and “coating” Kerstyn — a former SWVH student assistant while completing her bachelor’s degree at University of Nevada, Reno.

This special milestone marks the transition into the clinical phase of veterinary education, where third-year students receive their white coats as a symbol of professionalism, compassion, and commitment to patient care.

We are incredibly proud of Kerstyn and all she has accomplished, and we are grateful to have been part of her journey. Congratulations on this meaningful rite of passage and the exciting road ahead in veterinary medicine! 🩺🐾🤍

Who says the vet is all scary? 🐾
Sometimes it just means extra attention, new friends, and a chance to play with all the SWVH staff while you wait to go home! 🎾

Not every visit has to be full of nerves—some pups turn it into their own little social hour 💛
