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 must learn to work with colleagues and clients different from them.

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.
