As the first participants, Dr. Gustavo Willis and Dr. Brian Garcia, who earned their veterinary degrees in Juárez, Mexico — at the Universidad Autónoma de Ciudad Juárez — but are not certified to practice in the United States. are benefiting from the county's support in covering certification costs.
