Listen Later

Dr. Sam Morello joins us for a conversation on changing lanes in veterinary medicine. Sam shares the mic with Dr. Andy Roark on this episode of the Cone of Shame Veterinary Podcast to discuss her career reinvention, transitioning from a tenured equine surgeon to her current leadership. Dr. Morello shares her personal journey and insights on the importance of self-reflection, identifying personal and professional goals, and the courage required to step outside of one's comfort zone. She emphasizes the value of focusing on what you're moving towards rather than what you're leaving behind, and offers practical advice for veterinarians considering a career change. Gang, let's get into this episode!
