DVM Divas Podcast

A special bonus track about the current state of our world.

New grads? Old grads? Gap grads?

Join the DVMDivas as they dig into questions Melissa received while presenting to the Iowa State Veterinary School's Veterinary Business Management Association group a few weeks ago. The students had lots of questions about working with the "older" generation.

While we decided we are NOWHERE near being the "older" generation--we did decide that we're *comfortably* in the "gap"--we're not old but we're definitely not new. This "gap" positioning gives us a unique perspective that we can all learn from!

Then as we do, we round out the episode with Maria's win turned to a fail, Melissa has a hack we all may need here shortly and Ann has a surgery win that ties in relying on what you've learned.

Welcome to the DVM Divas Podcast Episode #18!

‘Tis the season for… Veterinary Conferences!! CE is unavoidable--conferences make it a smidge more “bearable.” You get out of the office, often you get out of paying for a meal or two, sometimes you even get out of the state or country...but does that mean you get out of professional dress as well?

Listen along as this week the DVM Divas discuss CE conference dress code--should we have one "officially"? Do we need them? What are “acceptable” clothing options? 

Also, Maria has the best travel hack for fellow germophobes, Melissa has a bad “fake” grandma fail, and Ann shares her best Mom win to beat cabin fever.
