Simmons Educational Fund

Improving the Veterinary Profession through Business Education

The Simmons Educational Fund (SEF) has donated more than $3 million to the profession through continuing education, sponsorships, and awards. We are committed to improving veterinary business education to meet the needs of tomorrow’s practicing veterinarian. 

2024 Veterinary Student Award

 

Max Wunsche, a third-year student at University of Georgia’s College of Veterinary Medicine, is the recipient of the 2024 SEF Business Aptitude Award. The award this year was $30,000, one of the highest awards in the industry. Wunsche was selected based on the exemplary case study he submitted as well as on the strength of his educational resume.

“Honored to share that I was named the SEF National Business Aptitude Award winner. The Simmons Educational Fund incentivizes veterinary students to explore entrepreneurial opportunities in veterinary medicine through their annual case study, and I was fortunate enough to be selected as this years winner!

I am grateful for the opportunity and extend my thanks to all those that helped me with this project. Additionally, I will graduate veterinary school in May! I am thrilled to start my journey as a DVM and for the opportunity to contribute to this amazing profession.”

"If we had to do it over again, there is no doubt in my mind we would contract with Simmons & Associates. We would highly recommend them to anyone."

"We got top dollar for our practice and they actually upped the final offers on the second round final offers. We are talking about generational money! I would have probably taken less than half of that and been ignorantly happy. Thank you, Stacy and David!"

“I attempted to sell this practice without the assistance of a broker without success. Dr. King assimilated a group of individuals that provided the expertise to maintain the momentum in order to market and sell my practice and real estate in 6 months. It was a very positive experience.”
