Welcome to Episode 31 of The Vet’Ed Podcast, hosted by Steven Hermann and Kale Flaspohler.

In this episode, Steven and Kale sit down with Dr. Cliff Miller, founder of Green Hills Veterinary Clinic in Moberly, Missouri. From starting his practice with just one patient (his own dog!) to now leading a four-doctor team, Dr. Miller shares his journey of intentional growth, small-town community impact, and balancing life as a vet, cattleman, coach, and legislative advocate.

As the Legislative Chairman for the Missouri Veterinary Medical Association (MVMA), Dr. Miller offers a behind-the-scenes look at the legislative process affecting veterinarians in Missouri and beyond. He breaks down the importance of advocacy, the role of organized veterinary medicine, and how staying involved ensures that veterinarians—not just lawmakers—shape the future of the profession.

From drug compounding laws and sales tax on services to the national conversation around xylazine regulation, this episode is packed with insight for any vet wanting to better understand the forces shaping their world.

🎧 Whether you're in the exam room or on the road, this episode will leave you informed and inspired.
