Some know him as a highly skilled veterinarian and clinic owner, others from his regular appearances on the TV show TV Pagalba (&#8220;TV Help&#8221;). As he shares, the start of his career was far from easy, but knowledge gained at university, determination, and a clear dream to work in his chosen profession helped him overcome the challenges.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>He Never Considered Any Other Profession<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paulius graduated in Veterinary Medicine 15 years ago. He says he never even considered a different path \u2013 veterinary medicine was always his first and only choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI loved being around animals from a very young age and enjoyed helping them, for example, building homes for ants or making birdhouses. So, I never considered applying anywhere else \u2013 just to veterinary medicine. I listed it as my first and only preference. I don\u2019t know what I would\u2019ve done if I hadn\u2019t been accepted,\u201d he says with a smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"586\" src=\"https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/Veterinary-medicine-studies-in-Lithuania-in-Europe-1024x586.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-111908\" style=\"width:1205px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Veterinary-medicine-studies-in-Lithuania-in-Europe-1024x586.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Veterinary-medicine-studies-in-Lithuania-in-Europe-300x172.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Veterinary-medicine-studies-in-Lithuania-in-Europe.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Veterinary-medicine-studies-in-Lithuania-in-Europe-300x172@2x.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He remembers his studies fondly. The LSMU Veterinary Academy had a close-knit and friendly community, and his cohort felt like one big family. That sense of connection extended to the lecturers as well. While some subjects may have felt dull or difficult at the time, looking back, he says those university years were some of the best. He still enjoys seeing his former teachers at seminars and training events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey used to joke that of all people, I was the least likely to become a vet since I wasn\u2019t exactly a model student. Theoretical subjects were tough for me, but I always did well with practical work. With enough determination and drive, I\u2019ve built a successful career,\u201d says P. Mork\u016bnas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In his final year, a practical placement at an animal shelter gave him new skills, valuable experience, and insight into the profession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>University Plays an Important Role in High-Quality Veterinary Care<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, Paulius mentors students from LSMU who complete their practical training at his clinic. As someone closely involved in shaping the next generation of vets, he says that entering the job market is much easier for today\u2019s students \u2013 they begin learning hands-on from day one, gaining current knowledge and practical skills early on. According to his estimations, as many as 90% of students are genuinely pursuing their calling.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"728\" height=\"885\" src=\"https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Paulius-Morkunas-Veterinarines-medicinos-studijos-LSMU.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-111806\" style=\"width:444px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Paulius-Morkunas-Veterinarines-medicinos-studijos-LSMU.jpg 728w, https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Paulius-Morkunas-Veterinarines-medicinos-studijos-LSMU-247x300.jpg 247w, https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Paulius-Morkunas-Veterinarines-medicinos-studijos-LSMU-247x300@2x.jpg 494w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Paulius Mork\u016bnas, a veterinary oncologist<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAt first, a student might feel too modest, afraid to ask questions. But we tell them: \u2018We\u2019re like family here \u2013 open and supportive. Ask anything.\u2019 And three months later, they\u2019ve completely transformed. It\u2019s great to see students grow \u2013 not just professionally, but as individuals. Because a good vet primarily needs to be a strong person, and only then can they seek to become a great specialist,\u201d he notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During their placement, students also develop client communication skills \u2013 an essential part of the job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen you speak to a client, you need to explain things clearly, give them a plan. You might be great in surgery, but if the client doesn\u2019t understand what\u2019s happening, they\u2019ll leave dissatisfied. We train students in this too \u2013 and they really enjoy it,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Paulius, veterinary medicine in Lithuania has advanced significantly in terms of technology and professional standards, and now compares well with European clinics. He credits LSMU for laying those strong foundations that enable him to continuously master the latest knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>From Owning a Clinic to Appearing on TV<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reflecting on the early days of his career, Paulius admits it was challenging. He had to overcome fear, uncertainty, and accept that learning doesn\u2019t end with graduation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEverything was new. I tried to take my time with patients without rushing. In the end, you don\u2019t want to make mistakes, your hands tremble, and the client \u2013 the owner \u2013 is watching you as you are introducing a catheter. But over time, with enough effort and motivation, it gets easier. Graduation is just the beginning of learning. You graduate, take a few days or a week off, and then you\u2019re back to the books. Even now, 15 years later, I study animal diseases daily. Veterinary medicine is a university that never ends,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/Veterinarine-medicina-studijos-LSMU-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-111811\" style=\"width:598px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Veterinarine-medicina-studijos-LSMU-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Veterinarine-medicina-studijos-LSMU-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Veterinarine-medicina-studijos-LSMU-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Veterinarine-medicina-studijos-LSMU-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Veterinarine-medicina-studijos-LSMU-300x200@2x.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, Paulius runs a chain of veterinary clinics in Kaunas and Jurbarkas. When he was offered the chance to take over an existing business, he hesitated at first, since it was a big step for a young vet with limited experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI took the risk and gave it everything I had. I worked from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., sacrificing rest and time with my family. But now we\u2019re growing, improving technologically. At the same time, we try to ensure both our patients and our team are well cared for,\u201d says the specialist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paulius continues to expand his knowledge, studying veterinary oncology abroad. As a result, he is now one of the few specialists in Lithuania qualified to call himself a veterinary oncologist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI want animals to live longer, but cancer in pets is becoming increasingly common. I\u2019m learning how to understand, diagnose, and treat these diseases, and how to improve their quality of life,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many people also recognise Paulius from TV \u2013 he has presented a veterinary segment on <em>TV Pagalba<\/em> for over eight years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWorking in front of the camera boosted my confidence and social skills. It\u2019s also another way to help animals and their owners. We provide services on the show free of charge \u2013 which is incredibly important, because veterinary care can be expensive, and many people can\u2019t afford treatment,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Veterinary Medicine Opens Many Doors<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">P. Mork\u016bnas encourages anyone considering veterinary studies at LSMU to think very carefully about whether this is truly the profession they want. If unsure, he recommends \u201ctrying on\u201d the profession through placements or internships first.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Veterinary-medicine-Veterianry-medicine-studies.jpg\" alt=\"Veterinary medicine-Veterianry medicine studies\" class=\"wp-image-111929\" style=\"width:503px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Veterinary-medicine-Veterianry-medicine-studies.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Veterinary-medicine-Veterianry-medicine-studies-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Veterinary-medicine-Veterianry-medicine-studies-794x526.jpg 794w, https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Veterinary-medicine-Veterianry-medicine-studies-800x531.jpg 800w, https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Veterinary-medicine-Veterianry-medicine-studies-300x199@2x.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI go to work with great enthusiasm every day \u2013 even on holiday I find myself thinking about work. It\u2019s so important to find your path. Veterinary medicine offers many branches \u2013 after graduation, you don\u2019t have to be a veterinary doctor. You could specialise in rehabilitation, physiotherapy, animal behaviour \u2013 there are countless areas where this education is valuable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s a unique profession that gives a lot back to the individual. Animals bring out the best in people. Working with them changes you \u2013 you start to understand and empathise with those who can\u2019t speak, who can\u2019t help themselves but still ask for help without saying a word. Veterinary medicine is truly magical,\u201d says veterinary oncologist Paulius Mork\u016bnas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More about this study programme <a href=\"https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/en\/admission\/integrated-studies\/veterinary-medicine\/\">HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paulius Mork\u016bnas, a veterinary oncologist and graduate of the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences (LSMU), is one of the most recognisable figures in his field in Lithuania.
