But there are many potential career options for all veterinary professionals within the veterinary field. Students who enter a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine or veterinary technician program can choose the path that suits them, including nontraditional ones, as long as they have a mentor to help guide them, a willingness to step outside their comfort zone, and the confidence to seize opportunities when they present themselves. Listen to the nontraditional path Dr. Jessie Stanley took in this inspiring episode of the VetFolio Voice podcast.

In veterinary medicine, Addison’s disease – hypoadrenocorticism – has been called “the Great Imitator” because it can mimic so many other diseases. Patients often present with vague clinical signs or biochemical abnormalities, making it challenging to correctly diagnose. In fact, it’s been said that managing Addison’s is not nearly as difficult as making the diagnosis in the first place. This CE episode of the VetFolio Voice podcast discusses diagnosing Addison’s disease in veterinary patients with nebulous clinical signs or biochemical abnormalities. It also covers routine approaches to management and prognosis.
