Max Sitver’s love for veterinary medicine is two-fold: He loves the people as much as he loves the animals.
“I would classify myself as a people person,” Max said. “Smashing together my love for people with my love for animals made veterinary medicine a perfect fit. Allowing my brain to constantly process information to make the puzzle pieces of a case fit also made veterinary medicine perfect for me.”
Max’s path in veterinary medicine continues to morph throughout his time at WSU but his passion is still with small and exotic animals. He also enjoys building strong client relationships with the communication skills he’s garnered at WSU.
When he moves to Boston next summer, Max will work in a small animal and exotics practice that also has a heavy surgical caseload. He’s already fielding offers.
Originally from Stonington, Connecticut, Max was one of 10 students in his class admitted into the WSU Honors College pre-admit veterinary program. The program allows WSU undergraduates to earn their undergraduate degree and Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in just seven years.
Like most veterinary students, Max is busy, but it hasn’t stopped him from pursuing his other passions. Outside of the clinic, he is a private pilot in his spare time.
“Thanks to the community around WSU, I have been fortunate enough to put myself back in the left seat recently and start flying weekly again,” Max said.
Fun Fact: Max loves spending time outdoors, especially on or near water, with his 3-year-old golden retriever, Cedar.
