Deep dive with Dr Chow - opening a vet practice in the pandemic, shaping the future of vets in SG

If you're thinking about opening a vet clinic or working in the veterinary profession in Singapore, this video is for you. Really grateful for the opportunity to sit down and speak to Dr. Chow, as well as all the advice he has for the future generation of veterinarians. We go deep into Dr. Chow's story and how he managed to open a vet clinic (during the pandemic?!), while starting a family and his role as President of the Singaporean Veterinary Association.
