Inclusion criteria: I select what I think is relevant and supportive in order to save students' time. For example, practice consolidation is a major issue in veterinary medical practice, so since 2016 I've included links to information about consolidations.
This page is checked once or twice a year and sources are added as I find them. Suggestions welcome.
