Sometimes you just need to get outside and catch a breeze (or try to). Recess is a state of mind. 0% flight time, 100% vibes. 🪁

It's incredible to reflect on the immense progress we've made in bringing the new Chicago College of Veterinary Medicine to life at Midwestern University. These photos, taken just one year apart, truly highlight our journey.

THEN (2025): Coretta Patterson, D.V.M., DACVIM-SA, Dean of the Chicago College of Veterinary Medicine, had the honor of signing her name on the very last beam installed in our future building.
NOW: The Chicago College of Veterinary Medicine is quickly taking shape and is nearly complete. We are now preparing to welcome our first class of future veterinarians!

We can't wait to see the next chapter unfold. www.midwestern.edu/academics/degrees-programs/doct…

How do you prepare the next generation of healthcare leaders to deliver world-class care? You immerse them in it from day one. In a recent feature with The CEO Magazine, Midwestern University President and CEO Joshua Baker, O.D., M.S., discusses how MWU is bridging the gap between the classroom and the clinic through the "One Health" initiative and state-of-the-art simulation technology.

By integrating AI-driven patient simulators and virtual reality headsets, we ensure our students master complex clinical scenarios—such as identifying rare retinal conditions—long before they treat their first patient. At Midwestern University, we aren't just teaching healthcare; we are defining the future of holistic, technologically advanced practice.

Read the full interview to see how Dr. Baker’s vision is positioning MWU as the premier graduate healthcare institution in the United States. digitalmag.theceomagazine.com/joshua-baker/?r=us
