Are you curious about the UK vet school system? Listen to this super informative episode with Guest Siena Mandy. Siena is a 3rd year Veterinary Student at the University of Glasgow College of Veterinary Medicine. She and Dr. Marshall have known each other through SAVMA events for a few years and, as she is originally from Washington State, she has been able to spend time at Island Cats Veterinary Hospital with Dr. Marshall. She was gracious enough to take time away from her studies to meet in person with Dr. Marshall on the historic main campus of the University of Glasgow to share a bit of her story of how she learned of, applied to, and has since moved to Scotland to study. This is a brief episode. No part 2 coming for this one. It does mean that we might need a follow up episode with Siena in the future, as they just scratched the surface in this episode. 

Thanks for listening.

Gary shares his struggles with making medical decisions for his own cat Millie. That's the very sad part. This decision making crisis overlapped with the disappointment and frustration over a decision made by the new administration. Sara helps brings things back into a better place by steering the conversation toward what they both look forward to in the near future. Thanks for listening. Hug your cat.

As Sara settles into second semester of her first year of vet school at Washington State University, she's in a good position to tell us how she really feels about it. There's some good mixed in with the ramped up coursework. Gary and Sara also randomly talk quite about about Chewy Vet and where they've been and where they're going. Thanks for listening.

Dr. Nia Powell Joins Sara and Gary for Part 2 of their discussion about coping with initially not passing the NAVLE (North American Veterinary Licensing Exam). This is a stressful topic, but please listen to the entire conversation. It gets light and fun as Sara and Nia talk about tips, tricks and hacks to survive the vet school curriculum. Thanks for listening.

Dr. Nia Powell Joins Sara and Gary to discuss coping with initially not passing the NAVLE (North American Veterinary Licensing Exam). So many veterinary students are receiving an email this week announcing if they passed this beast of a test or not. Nia provides first hand experience, and maybe some advice, on how to cope with not passing, and with passing. This is an important episode if you took this test recently, or if you know anyone that did. And it's only part 1, so make sure and listen to Episode 34 (Part 2) as well. Thanks for listening.

Drs. Phil Richmond and Gary Marshall (no Sara during this part 2) wrap up there conversation and cover a lot of ground. Most importantly for vet students listening, they have a discussion about the emotions surrounding that moment the NAVLE scores arrive in your email inbox. Phil also shares about the cutting edge program he helped develop to provide mental health resources to all veterinary professionals in his home state, and we almost learn just how many birds he and his family live with.

This will probably be the only episode with just 2 guys talking. Sara was unable to join for this episode, so Dr. Gary Marshall and Guest Dr. Phil Richmond were left on their own to chat. They talk about guy things like Hugh Jackman, lifting weights, how much smarter and accomplished their wives are compared to them, burnout, mentorship, psychological safety and dive bars in Chicago. Of course these are not specific "guy things". They're just things. We're all in this together. We think you'll enjoy this part one of their conversation.

The last episode of 2024. For reals this time! Enjoy. This is a pretty fun one, and also very informative if you are getting nervous about upcoming vet school interviews. Sara breaks down her strategy and gives some solid advice on how to crush your interview. Gary asks a few questions, but other than that, doesn't say much. Which is nice for a change.
