Welcome to Scrub Chat! Scrub Chat is a podcast of sharing stories. These stories are told by veterinary professionals for veterinary professionals. We are going on an expedition to hear first-hand experiences from veterinarians and veterinary technicians about their career, life, wellbeing and the balance between them all.
These stories will give you a real-world idea about being a veterinarian or veterinary technician and integrating the other roles you play in your life while inspiring you and giving you the occasional laugh. We will discuss wellness, student debt, career paths, veterinary medicine, compassion fatigue and work life balance. We will learn what has worked, what has not worked and how these professionals got to where they are today.
If you have any questions or comments please send us an email at ScrubChat@zoetis.com. We’d love to hear from you. And please don’t forget to share and review this podcast, so we can produce more in the future!
Please remember to visit VetVance at www.vetvance.com for more information about life issues such as managing student debt, reducing stress, communication skills and reputation management.
Zoetis has generously created these podcasts to help support the profession that we love.
