    S3 : E3 - Get to know Cayden Smith, National SAVMA President-Elect

    Click here to text us your questions & comments. This episode Highlights Ms. Cayden Smith. She is the current National SAVMA President-Elect, and a current 3rd year veterinary student at Long Island University in New York. This is a continuation of Season 3 : Episode 2 focusing on SAVMA President Spencer Stelly. Spencer hangs in there for much of this episode, but Cayden is the focus. Cayden shares her path to Vet School, and her and Bianca compare notes as they begin their 3rd years at different schools. Gary has known both Spencer and Cayden through his role as AVMA Vice President and the connections developed while working with SAVMA and attending Veterinary Leadership Experience. These episodes reveal paths to student leadership, and a little of the time and energy student leaders commit to their roles. Spoiler: they both claim that although it's a lot, they wouldn't change a thing! Enjoy getting to know Cayden during this episode. But if you haven't listened to S3 : E2 yet, please listen to that first. They are both great episodes but best listened to in order.

    S2 : E23 - The End of Season 2: Gary and Sara wrap up Vet School Year 2

    Click here to text us your questions & comments. This is the last episode of season 2! Gary and Sara finally found time in their schedules to actually record another episode together. It should be no surprise to anyone that it leans heavy on the topic of Shelter Medicine and Access to Care. But don't worry, there are plenty of detours to interest those not focused as much on those topics. Thanks so much for following along. We'll be taking another break for summer. See you back again in August.  D.C. = Diagnostic Challenge, the case based communications intensive week at Washington State University College of Veterinary Medicine Doney-Coe Pet Clinic RAVS = Rural Area Veterinary Services Hiraya Animal Shelter in the Philippines Your ratings, reviews and feedback are always appreciated.

    S2 : E22 - The Emily Collins Episode - Part 2

    Click here to text us your questions & comments. Thanks for coming back for Part 2 with Vet Student Emily Collins. In this episode we dive deep into Emily's gap year. So many aspiring vet students have setbacks with their plans. Emily, like Gary did not get accepted during her first application cycle. As you'll learn through Emily's story, her gap year turned out to be a big blessing and it seems to have set her up well for future opportunities she never would have imagined if she were accepted that first time around. Enjoy this episode, and thanks for listening.  Emily Collins on LinkedIn Emily Collins on Instagram Your ratings, reviews and feedback are always appreciated.

    S2 : E21 - The Emily Collins Episode - Part 1

    Click here to text us your questions & comments. We are so excited to introduce Emily Collins to all of you. At the time of this interview, Emily was finishing her first year as a Texas A&M Veterinary Student at their VERO campus in Canyon, Texas.  Gary met Emily while at SAVMA Symposium in Raleigh, NC this spring and was fascinated and impressed with her drive and passion for political advocacy in veterinary medicine at such an early part of her career. In part 1, we get to know her path to vet school, and how a detour along that path sparked her interest in advocacy. I'm confident you will enjoy getting to know her and will also want to come back next week for Part 2 (S2 : E22).

You can listen to both. As good as that was, I think this episode is even more special. In this episode, we learn a bit more of what motivated Sydney to do all the things she does. I even learned amazing new things! Sydney has started her own affinity group! Listen, Learn, Enjoy.

    Click here to text us your questions & comments. We are excited for you to listen to this episode with Class of '27 Cornell Vet Student Sydney Paris. As usual, this conversation went long so it will be a two parter. You really will want to listen to this before season 2 episode 20. It really sets the stage for that part of the conversation. Please explore Sydney's LinkedIn when you get a chance. We could only touch on all the places she's been and experiences she's had. Thanks so much for listening.
