It Might Get Weird: Journeys in Veterinary Medicine

Click here to text us your questions & comments.

Dr. Nia Powell Joins Sara and Gary to discuss coping with initially not passing the NAVLE (North American Veterinary Licensing Exam). So many veterinary students are receiving an email this week announcing if they passed this beast of a test or not. Nia provides first hand experience, and maybe some advice, on how to cope with not passing, and with passing. This is an important episode if you took this test recently, or if you know anyone that did. And it's only part 1, so make sure and listen to Episode 34 (Part 2) as well. Thanks for listening.

If you are applying for veterinary school now, or thinking about it in the future, this episode should be helpful. If you're not in either of those categories, we hope you'll enjoy listening anyway. We had fun making it. Thanks for listening.

Even though we struggled to find a time to record this, and didn't have a plan going about what we wanted to talk about, we ended up covering quite a bit of ground and discussing some interesting (and embarrassing for Sara) stuff. We answer "fan mail", get in the mood for fall, discuss what we should call our small contingent of loyal listeners, learn GenZ email etiquette, get a check up on Sara's level of panic 3 weeks in to her first semester of vet school and more.

Drs. Phil Richmond and Gary Marshall (no Sara during this part 2) wrap up there conversation and cover a lot of ground. Most importantly for vet students listening, they have a discussion about the emotions surrounding that moment the NAVLE scores arrive in your email inbox. Phil also shares about the cutting edge program he helped develop to provide mental health resources to all veterinary professionals in his home state, and we almost learn just how many birds he and his family live with.

Gary finds a corner of the floor in the basement at a hotel conference center outside of Chicago to capture his portion of the audio... and his body regrets that choice. Regardless, Sara and Gary discuss what superpowers they would request if given the opportunity, and have a good conversation about Sara's recent Physiology exam, and upcoming Anatomy exam, and what Gary learns, and who he meets, in Washington DC for his AVMA Board of Directors meeting, and in Chicago for the SAVMA Chapter President's Summit.
Enjoy. And Thanks for listening.
