    #036 - Like so many veterinary professionals, Dr Andrea Harvey knew she wanted to be a veterinarian from a young age.

    The Elephant in the Room: Part Two, with Dr Woof Apparel's Dr Ron See

    #035 - Did you know that the number one factor that determines whether a client is likely to visit your veterinary practice is whether or not you have parking! So it's not necessarily the veterinary team, the potential care we might provide, or the cost of our services that is the INITIAL drawcard. For many of us this is actually quite hard to hear, but it's an important concept to consider when thinking about the business aspects of veterinary medicine; and is just one of the many "fun...

    Why You Shouldn’t Be Scared to Try New Things with Dr Vicky Brownlie

    #33 - Dr Vicky Brownlie knew she wanted to be a veterinarian at the incredibly young age of 4; and having grown up with birds and rabbits, it is no surprise that she was drawn to the discipline of exotic medicine. Vicky's special interest in the more unlikely pets (which including snakes, lizards and frogs), led her to pursue her ANZCVS Memberships in Unusual Pet Medicine and Surgery - an achievement shared by only a handful of other veterinarians. During the episode, Vicky talks openl...

    #032 - For many of us, our career path has ended up being somewhat different to what we initially envisioned when we first started our training programs. Yet more often than not, our journeys exceed all expectations. Which is precisely the case for today's guest, my mentor and dear friend, Dr Imogen Johns.
