Themes within the healing professions
Client communications
The human-animal bond

Dying, death and grief

*In the context of our personal philosophies of writing i.e., 'Why write?'
*With an interest in personal memoirs
*With regard to veterinary science and the experience of being a scientist
*What I read and why
*Future directions for literature in veterinary medicine
*To enrich curricular and extracurricular veterinary medical education and practice.
