In this episode, Andrea and David talk with Sam Schopler, a third-year veterinary student at North Carolina University and a Veterinary Alliance Director at pet Desk. Sam is starting his career in vet med and has a unique perspective on our industry. Sam also has an entrepreneurial mindset and talks to us about leadership in the veterinary workplace through the lens of a student not yet in practice. We dive into how the demand for veterinarians is high, practices are competing for veterinarians, and what is it that new grads are looking for in a workplace. The expectations of veterinarians might not be the historical key components we have grown to expect to discuss, and instead a shift towards defined mentorship, transparent conversations with leadership about trying new things, and cultivating a culture for a healthy workplace.
