Get ready for a candid, hilarious, and inspiring journey into the world of veterinary medicine with our special guests, the Vet Bros!

In this episode, we’re buzzing to welcome Malongo (veterinary graduate), Chris (final-year vet student), Tommy (second-year vet student), and a shout-out to Elliot, the fourth Vet Bro who was unable to join us.

These trailblazing mates from the University of Queensland are capturing hearts (and plenty of laughs) online as they blend real talk about vet school, gym culture, and memes that every vet student can relate to.

Tune in as the Vet Bros share:

• Honest insights into surviving vet school
• How humour creates community in a challenging profession
• The ups and downs of transitioning from Uni to real-world practice
• The story behind their viral Instagram page and the balance between fun and professionalism
• Tips for tackling exams, burnout, placements, and mental health

Discover how social media is changing the face of veterinary medicine and why finding supportive friends might just be your secret weapon for success!
