In the second episode with Dean Lairmore, we talk about how to be proud to be a veterinarian, wicked viruses, and how it is to be a Dean. He is an inspiration for people that work around him and currently is the ‘boss’ of the no. 1 veterinary medicine college in the world. He explains how he creates an environment that is supportive and where creativity is key. Behind all the success is good strategic planning. Dean Lairmore talks about one of the worst situations he had to deal with too and how he handled this situation and how he can focus on being thankful. In the end we talk about AAVMC, the Association of American Veterinary Medical Colleges. Thank you, Dean Lairmore!
