Dr. Jessica Vogelsang, Chief Medical Officer at the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), joins us to discuss the evolving role of veterinarians in modern veterinary practices. Dr. Vogelsang introduces the concept of "decentering" the veterinarian to create a more team-based approach that places the patient at the heart of care, similar to patient-centered models in human medicine. She explains how this shift can improve efficiency and client satisfaction by empowering veterinary technicians and support staff to handle many tasks traditionally managed by DVMs. Together, Dr. Andy Roark and Dr. Vogelsang explore the barriers to this model, including liability concerns and the importance of training and trust in a collaborative practice. This thought-provoking conversation is a must-listen for anyone interested in the future of veterinary medicine and the evolving dynamics within the field.

This week on the Uncharted Podcast, Dr. Andy Roark and practice management geek Stephanie Goss are deep in conversation that was inspired by a recent discussion with a colleague about how to scale up the size of their practice when it feels like everyone else is paying WAY more than they are for associate veterinarian salaries. After a promising interview, one of our friends was highly disappointed when the associate candidate went somewhere else for a starting salary that was more than this practice owner pays themselves. Where do you even start with trying to grow when it feels like money is tight? Let's get into this... LINKS We have tons of workshops coming!

Inventory Nation with Nicole Clausen - All Things Inventory Management for Veterinary Professionals
Here's a scenario you may have experienced (and stressed over): Your DVMs seem to want ALL the options on the shelves and right NOW! On this episode of Inventory Nation our host, Nicole Clausen, shares a systematic framework to help you navigate what's already in stock, massage the flow of products and create ordering procedures to accommodate (but not over-provide for) the demands of your practice. For many care providers, an understandable (but unnecessary and unhelpful) scarcity mindset can overwhelm good planning. That's where our job as analytical, well-informed inventory managers comes into play. We are able to explain the implications of carrying unpaid goods over long periods of time, the risks of expirations and tying up money that could better be used elsewhere. You'll learn about steps to take and processes to put in place that will provide guardrails (and boundaries!) when you're feeling pressured to make decisions that aren't documented, data-backed or fully informed by the kinds of financial realities they don't teach in vet school! If you'd like to learn more, Nicole offers an entire module to help inventory managers keep that delicate balance – between satisfying what the team wants with what the practice truly needs and can manage effectively – to the good of all, patients included!It's not too late to nominate yourself or someone you want to honor for Inventory Manager of the Year 2023! Just visit this link to find out lots more about how to submit your candidate (self-nominations welcome!) for well-deserved recognition as well as great gifts courtesy of our sponsors, Epicur Pharma and VetCove, and unlimited access to all of Nicole's classes!And stay tuned for Nicole's upcoming July webinars, including content focused on keeping your inventory management system accurate and how to lower your COGs.Would you like to learn more about Inventory 911 Toolkit, our step-by-step blueprint to help inventory managers optimize knowledge, strategy, and confidence?

This week on the podcast, Dr. Roark and Stephanie tackle a topic from the mailbag. Dr. Fed Up writes in and asks for help with letting go of their guilt over giving their notice at their new practice. Dr. Fed Up was hired as a new grad and promised support and mentorship. Fast forward to the present where they are often working alone with no other DVM present in the building and tackling a full surgical caseload that they don't feel confident tackling. Dr. Fed Up wants to quit and move on to something that would be a better fit for them but is struggling with 3 questions - How do I tell them why I am leaving, how much notice do I give and do I feel guilty that the leaders of this practice may have to close a location (temporarily or permanently) due to lack of DVMs? Let's get into this...

I regularly search on Amazon for “veterinary business” and “veterinary management” and “business” books. Sometimes to buy, but usually, at first, to find new guests for a veterinary podcast. That's how I stumbled into Aaron Gruben's new book A Theology of Beasts: Christians and Veterinary Medicine. The book brought together two things that fascinate me: DVMs and divinity. I bought it. I read it. I liked it. The first half of the book is Dr. Gruben's deep dive into Christians he found in ancient and modern history who contributed to and focused on animal medicine. The back half is a collection of some philosophy and theology that Dr. Gruben has looked into that touch on how Christians can think about their place in the world as women and men of God whose ministry could include healing animals, soothing animals' suffering, and modeling love for Creation to their clients. Those who might enjoy the book? Christian veterinarians, Christian pet owners, Christian agriculturalists, Christians with horses (early vet med is a lot of horses), and Christians with teenagers thinking about a career in veterinary medicine. Those who will enjoy the podcast? Anyone curious about vet med, animals and religion. Let's dive in … To Feed Further Curiosity: Dr. Gruben also writes time travel fiction and has developed curriculum focusing on chivalry. Chivalry, I wondered. Tell me more. So I asked, and he delivered, including book recommendations for someone who knows next to nothing about the Crusades. Then the author of one of the books Dr. Gruben read about the Crusades agreed to do a podcast interview with me. And then Dr. Gruben wrote me some questions to get me started in my interview with the guy who wrote the book Dr. Gruben liked. Convoluted? Sure. Amazing synchronicity? Heck yeah. That podcast interview, hopefully, will be coming soon ...

Mentoring and why it's vital in helping younger veterinarians hit production and succeed both financially and professionally. Why are veterinarians afraid to fail? Various ways to distribute veterinary medicine profits- profit-sharing and/or equity ownership. The veterinary shortage might not be a problem for current DVMs and his non-consensus view. Is private practice still viable in 2023 and beyond?What is the value threshold and hitting exponential growth as a private practice to be more attractive for acquisition?

Can you lead people to water and make them drink? This week's episode starts out with a mailbag question where the writer already has part of their answer. And life is always a little more complicated than at first glance so Dr. Andy Roark and practice manager Stephanie Goss dive into this mailbag entry from a veterinarian who is considering joining a new practice. This practice is quite different from what this vet is used to AND wanting. They want a practice that utilizes their techs for more than nail trims, where the DVMs aren't doing tech work and that is more efficient. This DVM wants to know "Can I hope to change this practice and how do I start the conversation with grace?" This one is seemingly uncomplicated but Andy and Stephanie always find a twist. Let's get into this...

Stoke that fire!The veterinary industry is anticipated to grow rapidly in the next ten years. As many young DVMs enter into their careers, it's good for them to weigh their options. Do they have the entrepreneurial spirit it takes to run their own practice? Have they done the work to figure out their mission and their values? Do they know how to align all of that with their practice? Today, we have some “food for thought” clips that we think will help young vets explore these questions.

This week on the podcast, Dr. Andy Roark and Stephanie Goss are talking through a question that came in through the mailbag from a friend and colleague of theirs. This DVM is thrilled to have purchased their own practice. They are making a shift from managing multiple locations with multiple DVMs at each practice into a much smaller, rural one DVM practice however and they are facing some challenges. The medicine, the facilities, the technology has all been in place for a quite awhile and our DVM friend has some big plans to kick it up a notch and shift things into the next gear. They are struggling with how to tackle the big changes that lie ahead. Let's get into this… Links: Upcoming events: https://unchartedvet.com/upcoming-events/ More Than an EAP - Making Wellness Happen in Your Practice You keep on pushing through the long days, the burnout, working short-handed. You're waiting for things to “calm down” before you work on your business instead of in it… but when does that end? What if it doesn't? This mentality is not sustainable for you or anyone on your team. You've got to find a better way. Bret Canfield has worked with dozens of teams on finding sustainability in practice. In this brand new workshop, he is focusing on the benefit you have to know about and how to implement it – an Employee Assistance Program. If you think it's out of reach, he'll tell you to think again! He is going to talk through real, tangible solutions and tactics to build your days around wellness, rather than wellness around your day.

This week on the podcast, Dr. Roark and Stephanie tackle a topic from the mailbag. Dr. Fed Up writes in and asks for help with letting go of their guilt over giving their notice at their new practice. Dr. Fed Up was hired as a new grad and promised support and mentorship. Fast forward to the present where they are often working alone with no other DVM present in the building and tackling a full surgical caseload that they don't feel confident tackling. Dr. Fed Up wants to quit and move on to something that would be a better fit for them but is struggling with 3 questions - How do I tell them why I am leaving, how much notice do I give and do I feel guilty that the leaders of this practice may have to close a location (temporarily or permanently) due to lack of DVMs?

Diversity in veterinary medicine has traditionally been viewed as the inclusion of more women in the profession. The first woman, graduated from McKillip Veterinary College in Chicago in 1903. Very slowly more women entered this field of medicine. 1970-89% of veterinary college enrollment was held by men. 2007, only 37 years later was dubbed ‘the year of the female veterinarian' with 75 percent of that year's graduates being women. 2009 was the tipping point for the profession with 55% of the licensed DVMs being female. As of 2017, 80% of all veterinary students were women, and currently 64% of the practicing veterinarians you'll encounter will be women and 90% of the veterinary nurses are also women. Improving inclusivity is a major focus of veterinary medicine recruitment and advancement. But the question remains as to how we got to our current status, what is being done to have the profession more closely mirror the general population and why it is important. My guest is Dr. Tierra Price. She is part of a very elite cadre of veterinarians. Dr. Price is also is one of the 2.1% veterinarians in the United States who are African American. We are going to discuss the challenges in becoming a veterinarian when no one looks like you, how she and the profession are attempting to remedy this disparity and the organization she founded, the Black DVM Network.

You might think that most DVMs embark on their journey to veterinary school from either working on a farm or in a veterinary clinic. Dr. Matt Toia took a slightly different route, from literally flying high as a Special Forces member of the Green Berets to Auburn University, School of Veterinary Medicine. This non-traditional streak was to be a hallmark Dr. Toia's career. Dr. Matt has chronicled his sundry adventures as a veterinarian in his book... ‘You Want Me to Declaw What?' A rampaging bull, an out of control chimpanzee, a goose named Gary -- Dr. Matt Toia has seen it all and will tell us all about it on today's episode of ‘the Pet Doctor' on PetLifeRadio.com More details on this episode MP3 Podcast - From Green Beret to a Goose Named Gary.....with Dr. Bernadine Cruz
