Nurturing future veterinarians and promoting animal health and welfare

“During my placement, I encountered cases that were rare in Hong Kong, one of which was African horse sickness. This invaluable experience allowed me to witness first-hand how local veterinarians tackle serious diseases with limited resources.”

“Prior to studying in the programme, I had never interacted with horses, and their sheer size was initially overwhelming. However, during my placement, I developed a deep bond with the horses; one horse even fell asleep with its head resting against my body. This human-horse connection profoundly touched me and further fuelled my passion for veterinary medicine.”

Yoo-lim joins CityUHK Pet Power as the event emcee to promote the power of human-animal bonds.
