Frontier Vets

The vet students meet for the first time and travel 7 hours to the remote clinic; they show their fears and insecurities, their fear of failure and the weight of responsibilities ahead.

The vets get situated in their dormitory accommodations. Dr. Greg deliberately pairs them according to their differences. Vets need to learn to work with colleagues and clients different from themselves.

Roxanne let her puppy case, 'Ripple' stay overnight at the dorm; the group, especially her roommate, Charlotte, is critical of this; not only is she using the dog as a social crutch, it's highly unprofessional to become so attached to a patient.

Dr. Greg forces the students to attend a local Heritage Festival, something none of them are in the mood for on their 'day off'; they witness the South African dance and folk customs.

Tina's goat case is an emotional rollercoaster for the young vet as the little kid has taken a turn for the worse again; for Tina euthanasia is the humane thing to do, but the owner is extremely religious and refuses to have it killed.

Follows final year vet students over 4 weeks as they run an animal clinic in a remote community.
