Dr. Molly Brinkmann (@DrMollySays) is such a treasure. We loved having some time with her to talk about... stuff. In this Part 2 of our conversation, we venture into where she thought she would end up while she was in vet school, and how she got to where she is today. We cover career trajectory and family and a few other things. 

We also catch up with Sara after her first week of vet school to have her share her early thoughts on the hours spent in anatomy, what clubs and electives she's considering, and the most pressing concern of how to get the best seat in class!

We talk about a lot of things, but there's so much more we want to cover. This one is split into 2 parts, and we think we'll eventually need parts 3 and 4 and... 

We also learn everything we ever wanted to know about Sara's emotional support stick.

Thanks for listening.

Sara and Gary are Together at Washington State University's College of Veterinary Medicine during Sara's Vet School Orientation week. This episode is a bit different. The week was hectic for both Sara and Gary. Sara was swamped with orientation events on and off campus and had family in town. Gary was visiting friends (a classmate and her husband), spent time with faculty and administrators as well as with vet students from other years, and had duties to perform during orientation and at Sara's White Coat Ceremony. It was tricky to find time together. We were able to squeeze in a short recording session, and we're including a recording of the talk Gary gave to the class of 2028. Enjoy. Thanks so much for listening.

If you missed Part 1, press pause and listen to Episode 10 first. In this episode, Dr. Katie Kuehl and Dr. Radha Ganesan, along with Gary and Sara, have a very important conversation about things we can do to help provide more veterinary care to more clients, even when they have financial, and other access to care constraints. Do not miss this episode. It just might coax you to shift the way you've been thinking about things like "gold standard", responsible pet ownership, and creative financing options to help us say "Yes" to those in need more often.

Get to know Dr. Katie Kuehl and Dr. Radha Ganesan. It's worth a listen. Our mission was to venture into the huge topic of Veterinary Access to Care, and how we can utilize it today. Sara, Gary and our guests barely scratch the surface during Part 1. Make sure and follow us to get alerted when Part 2 drops next week.

Gary and Sara share about their separate camping getaways, and then mostly talk about the structure of organized veterinary medicine and Gary's involvement in state and national veterinary medical associations. This may not be your jam, but it's good to learn new things. Maybe you're into crocheting or competitive cornhole! We're not into stuff like that, but would be happy to listen and learn more about your passions. If you choose to listen to this epsisode, thank you. We'd love your feedback.

If you are applying for veterinary school now, or thinking about it in the future, this episode should be helpful. If you're not in either of those categories, we hope you'll enjoy listening anyway. We had fun making it. Thanks for listening.

In this episode, Gary and Sara cover some random stuff, but don't cover a lot of ground. They record during one of the few really hot days of a Seattle Summer, and you can tell that they are both elated, and a little lackadaisical because of it. No major complaints! The week was absolutely glorious. Vet school starts for Sara in just 4 short weeks. Please enjoy. Thanks for listening.

In this episode, Sara shares a bit more of her backstory. It involves going through an experience that led to career questioning burnout. 

Gary requests input from listeners to help with his upcoming presentation to incoming first year vet students at Washington State University (Message via the link for this show in Apple or Spotify Podcast apps). Thanks for listening

This episode continues with Dr. Crystal Boles, Dr. Christine Boles, Dr. Kirsten Ronngren as well as Sara and Gary. Our guests impart more wisdom to help Sara as she begins, and works her way through vet school. Common themes are mentoring, resilience, community and that it's unlikely to be exactly how you anticipate it will be (and that's OK). Thanks for listening.
