It sounds like you'd like there to be a separate Veterinary Medicine
domain. You didn't specify anything about that, and I'm curious what 
your plan is. Would it be a domain on the same level as Medicine? 
Or a subdomain of it?

As a first year veterinary student, I definitely agree that they should 
be separate.
