In Episode 5, we sit down with Kemely — a new graduate ECC intern at ARH Essendon Fields — to talk about the reality of stepping straight from vet school into emergency and critical care. From 12-hour shifts and ICU patients to overnight work and the steep learning curve of being a new grad, this episode gives a real look into life inside emergency medicine.

Kemely also opens up about burnout, imposter syndrome, clinic culture, supporting owners through grief and euthanasia, and the experiences that shaped her journey into becoming a veterinarian. A raw, honest, and insightful conversation about what life in vet med really looks like behind the scenes.
