Welcome to this episode of The Underdog Vet Podcast!

In this episode’s Animal Advocate Interview, I spoke with Katherine Clarke an internal medicine specialist at a large referral practice in Hertfordshire, England.

After graduating from Bristol vet school in 2011 Katherine started her vet career in a first opinion, small animal practice before embarking on the long journey to specializing in internal medicine.

Katherine and I had a very enjoyable chat that covered a wide variety of thought-provoking subjects including the best, the worst and the funniest parts of the job!

This is such a great episode and I’m excited for you to hear it!
