Large animal veterinary medicine - a small field ripe for innovation. My talk with Dr. Ben Schultz
I had a chance to sit down and talk with Dr. Ben Schultz at this recent Inventures 2023. Ben is a large animal vet and recent graduate of the Central Alberta Regional Innovation Network's Catalyst Incubator.
Large animal veterinary medicine is a fascinating practice that Ben describes as being a fertile ground for innovation.
I hope you enjoy our talk. Welcome to Shift!
