NEW VET IN LEX

environment.”
Her search led her to
send an application to a vet
clinic in Idaho. However,
when the relief veterinar
ian in the clinic saw her
resume, including a couple
of trips overseas with Chris
tian Veterinary Mission
(CVM), he told her to call
the clinic in Lexington. It
seemed like a good fit, and
she started work with the
Temples and fellow KSU
grad Dr. Stephan Gibson
on Sept. 29.
McClain says life in
South Morrow has been
something of an adjustment
but, “We’re figuring it out.”
Like other newcomers, she
has had to adjust to some
realities of small-town life,
such as the store hours.
“Because it’s a smaller
community, getting used to
the fact that things aren’t
always open when I expect
them to be (is a challenge),”
she says.
McClain knows she
will be in the Lexington
clinic for at least a year,
working with and learning
from Dr. Dick Temple. Past
that, she hesitates to say.
She says she has been to
India twice with CVM dur
ing her college and gradu
ate school years, once to
southern India and once to
northern India. She says
she would eventually like
to return to India, Pakistan
or Afghanistan with the
mission, but the current
volatile situation in the
region makes that a long
term goal.
For now, she’s settling
in and getting to know the
ropes in South Morrow. So
far, she says, she’s happy
with her choice.
“1 really love the com
munity up here. People
have been very friendly,”
says McClain. “They defi
nitely seem to help each
other out a lot.”
