  • Financial guidance for vets by vets

    This podcast is so good! Love the topics covered! As a debt free vet, I still enjoy all of the areas talked about. Encouraging people to live financially well as vets is a message that all vet students and new grads need to hear!

  • Awesome Content but hard to hear

    Great content but the audio quality is less than ideal. It’s very hard to understand when I’m driving or anywhere it’s not completely silent.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

087: Relief Veterinarians: Freedom, Burnout, and Boundaries - Dr. Andrew Ciccolini
Q: What are the main burnout drivers for relief vets, and how are they linked to income variability?
Burnout drivers include overcommitting to shifts, unpredictable income, tax and administrative burdens, lack of community, and lack of structure; these are exacerbated by income variability and the need to manage benefits on one's own.
087: Relief Veterinarians: Freedom, Burnout, and Boundaries - Dr. Andrew Ciccolini
Q: How much of the private practice workforce is made up of relief vets and has the number grown since COVID?
Relief vets now account for about 9.6% of the workforce, roughly 1 in 10, and the number has grown significantly in the last few years, with the ER sector seeing higher turnover and demand.
085: Mentorship, Business, and AI in Veterinary Medicine - Dr. Jason Szumski
Q: How did you find your mentors, both in the clinical setting and in business, and what can new grads do to build a strong professional network?
Jason emphasizes visiting clinics and externships to sample mentors, prioritizing psychological safety, listening, and building genuine relationships through networking, plus maintaining a long-term view of how networking can lead to opportunities.
085: Mentorship, Business, and AI in Veterinary Medicine - Dr. Jason Szumski
Q: Jason, so one thing I really appreciate about you is that you're such an advocate for new grads getting great mentorship. I'd love to have you talk about what should new grads ask for when they're looking for their first job post-graduation.
New grads should look for a structured mentorship program that is adaptable, ask for concrete examples of mentee success, and speak with a current mentee to gauge the real quality of mentorship and support.
072: How Vet Practice Owners can Thrive in Life and Business - Dr. Christine Staten
Q: What is the best way for our colleagues to get in touch with you?
Christine encourages reaching out through her website Veterinary MBA and her active social media accounts.
