Katrine Daugaard er sangerinde og Liberal Alliances nye kulturordfører. Hun har set branchen indefra, hvor mange ifølge Daugaard forventer, at de kan sidde og pille navle på statens regning. Hun vil rydde op i en branche, der er fuld af snobberi, og som har brug for økonomiske incitamenter. Det østrigske nationalkonservative Frihedspartiet, FPÖ, er på vej tilbage. Partiet, der tidligere har haft forbindelse til Putin, har netop vundet et valg i delstaten Niederösterreich med en fjerdedel af stemmerne. FPÖ er det eneste østrigske parti, der er direkte imod sanktioner mod Rusland, og det varsler skidt for opbakningen til Ukraine. Vi taler med freelancejournalist Christine Proksch fra Wien.I dansk politik diskuterer man fortsat om Leopard2-kampvogne skal afsted til Ukraine, mens regeringen netop har foreslået en inflationshjælpepakke til de mest trængte danskere.

Aquatic and exotic medicine has been known as a challenging specialty to get into partly due to the limited, competitive nature of the residencies and internships. However, even if they say it's a 10% chance, why can't you be part of that 10%? Michelle Greenfield is currently in vet school about a month away from taking the Navle exam. She's been determined to work with aquatic animals for years and wasn't even going to let a global pandemic stop her from working towards that goal. It was early in the pandemic that she started a podcast called Aquadocs. Plus I couldn't help but sprinkle in some Finding Nemo throughout.  All the references from the episode are below.

Strategies for approaching test-taking on medical boards the STATMed wayIt goes without saying that a lot rides on your medical board exams. And before you even get to the point of taking the COMLEX, NAVLE, (or the exam for your field), you have to pass your med school exams. That's a lot of pressure, especially for self-professed bad test-takers. In this episode, host Ryan Orwig is back with Dr. Jim Culhane, Assistant Dean for Student Academic Success Programs and Professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences at Notre Dame of Maryland University School of Pharmacy. They dig into test-taking on medical boards and in the classroom. In part one of this two-part podcast, Dr. Culhane details the process of exam creation while Ryan shares STATMed's meticulous approach to test-taking. “If you're going to do the Boards Workshop, we're not going to fix your test-taking. I'm not going to go in and plug holes. We're going to tear your system down to the ground. We're going to bulldoze that sucker and build in its place our very rigid, very meticulous system.” - Ryan Orwig

We can help you figure out what's next after a failed board exam “Help! I failed my board exam… can you help me?” We hear this - or a version of this - statement nearly every day. So, if you've failed a board exam, you're absolutely not alone. And, you're not necessarily looking at the end of your medical career. At STATMed Learning, we work closely with students who have failed the COMLEX, NAVLE, USMLE, or other medical boards exams. In this episode of the STATMed Podcast, Ryan Orwig and David LaSalle dig into how STATMed Learning can help students who have failed their medical boards. They break down what students can expect from the STATMed Boards Test-Taking  Workshop and the Boards Study Skills Course.“Just to be clear, I think sometimes it's easy to think that what we're talking about is that we're going to teach you some “hacks” to get past the test-taker, to read the mind of what they're doing, to “beat the test”. That's not what we're talking about. These tests are not something where we can institute two hacks, and all of a sudden our scores are improving. This is really about learning about who you are as a test-taker, historically. We have identified about 15 individual bad habits that people implement while taking tests and working on a test. Most people aren't doing 15 things wrong, most people are doing maybe four or five things wrong, and of those, they're doing two or three things wrong all the time, and that's what is costing them the majority of their questions. So that's what the Boards Workshop is about; [discovering] the two or three things you're doing wrong, how to spot them and what to put in place of that behavior. It's in-depth, it's intense, and it's super effective.” - David LeSalle 

Strategies and techniques to optimize your time in a study groupIn this episode, host Ryan Orwig is back with Dr. Jim Culhane, Assistant Dean for Student Academic Success Programs and Professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences at Notre Dame of Maryland University School of Pharmacy. Part three of this miniseries digs into study group best practices. "If you're doing any kind of application practice, whether you're in a study group or by yourself, again, simulating exam conditions is key. You want to put a time limit on solving the problem because you're not going to have all day on an exam. You want to make sure that you're attempting to solve that problem without any types of learning materials available. So that means notes, textbooks, similar types of problems. A lot of my students, when they sit down and do practice problems or practice sets, and they'll have their notes and their resources right next to them. And you know, it might be okay when you're a novice learner, and you're still trying to figure out how to solve some of these problems. You can learn an awful lot more from your failures and mistakes, right, than those successes. I think that's a huge part of problem solve." – Dr. Jim Culhane 

 Uncommon Pathways Episode 3Host Ryan Orwig speaks with STATMed alumni who share their uncommon pathways to their dream careers in this podcast miniseries. In the first episode, Ryan and JT, a surgeon, discussed the challenges low boards scores could cause when pursuing a competitive field like orthopedic surgery. In the third installment of our Uncommon Pathways podcast miniseries, Ryan is back with JT, an orthopedic surgeon, who shares how the STATMed Boards Workshop transformed how he approached board-style exams. They dig into the importance of implementing test-taking strategies that yield results and the benefits of identifying test-taking issues. "What frustrated me was that I didn't have words to articulate the mistakes that I knew I was making. And so it was like, finally, I can identify the problem, and once you identify the problem, you can do something about it. And so y'all gave me this lens through which to identify my problem. And a big part of that was misreading and then twisting what the question was asking. And I would realize I was answering the wrong question like it was right in my head because that's the question that I was answering, but it's not the question on the test. That was a big error for me that I realized pretty early on." - Dr. JT

 Uncommon Pathways Episode 2Host Ryan Orwig speaks with STATMed alumni who share their uncommon pathways to their dream careers in this podcast miniseries. In the first episode, Ryan and JT, a surgeon, discussed the challenges low boards scores could cause when pursuing a competitive field like orthopedic surgery. In this episode, Ryan is back with JT, an orthopedic surgeon, who shares how the STATMed Doctor Study Skills Course changed the way he prepared for exams. Here, JT shares the biggest takeaways from his quest to learn how to study more effectively. From the importance of frameworking to transforming his study sessions with retrieval practice and managing workflow while studying, JT shares his top three lessons learned.How To Study Effectively In Med School and For Boards"I would say the overarching thing was that I was very passive in how I would study. So that meant just reading or rereading material that I had read a thousand times over and just thinking, okay, well, maybe it'll stick this time. Or if I just keep reading this, it'll get imprinted into my subconscious. I realized it's not good because it's not intentional. And so what the study skills scores taught me was that you have to intentionally engage in the material, and the way you do that is by testing and retesting. So, instead of just reading through a passage, article, or review book, I had to framework this out. Like, I would have a blank, and it would be "name these three things associated with this fracture pattern." And instead of just rereading them, I would have to say, okay, I actually have to recall what these three things are." - Dr. JT

Uncommon Pathways Episode 1Although the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, that's not always the path that a career in medicine follows. Host Ryan Orwig speaks with STATMed alumni who share their uncommon pathways to their dream careers in our newest podcast miniseries. In this episode, Ryan and JT, an orthopedic surgeon, discuss challenges he faced in his journey to becoming a surgeon. JT recounts the issues he faced when struggling with boards. He also digs into the hurdles his relatively low scores caused when trying to get into a super competitive orthopedic surgery residency. "When I found out what my Step 1 score was, I was freaking out. And so, of course, I would ask people, it's like, man, you know, is this even worth it? Is this even worth doing? Should I just try something different altogether? And you know, almost universally, people told me, and this is what I tell people now, your step score shouldn't completely define you or dictate what you do. And so if this is something that you really, really want to do, and you know that beyond a shadow of a doubt, you should just go for it, and you should make every effort to make yourself a good applicant, despite the fact that you may not have the best test scores." - Dr. JT

Conversations About ADHD in Med School: Part 4It's happened to the best of us. You've got a laundry list of things to do, but before getting started, you sit down for a second and glance at your phone. Then, suddenly, it's 3 hours later, you're hungry, you're confused, and you've inadvertently memorized three TikTok dances. (Maybe that last part is just us…) But, the point is, your day got away from you. When this happens occasionally, it's not that big of a deal. However, if you keep finding yourself 3-hours later and very little to show for it, you may have a problem. Issues with time management and ADHD can go hand-in-hand, and the strategies you've used previously may not be cutting it anymore. In the fourth episode of our podcast miniseries, Conversations About ADHD in Med School, host Ryan Orwig returns with Mike, a former STATMed class participant. They share how issues with time management and ADHD can derail medical students as they study or take boards. During this conversation, they share specific strategies med students can use to overcome these issues. "I think time management is probably one of the biggest problems [with having ADHD in med school]. You're fighting against time. You've got a set amount of hours between one test to the next. And so, you know you have a set amount of work that has to be put in, in that set amount of time. But that's the fight against time because your ADHD is making you want to do other things. So, when you should be studying, you're looking at your phone, watching videos, and doing anything else besides studying. And it's a constant fight against time that you're wasting and losing." - Dr. Mike 

Conversations About ADHD in Med School: Part 3In episode three of our podcast miniseries, Conversations About ADHD in Med School, host Ryan Orwig returns with Mike, a former STATMed class participant. They dig into how issues with executive function can negatively affect students with ADHD. During this conversation, they discuss what they term "executive dysfunction." Ryan and Mike also share strategies med students can use to mitigate these issues. "I think executive function issues are probably the widest and biggest of all the ADHD issues. With being a first-year student, even getting tasks completed, getting papers done, getting notes mapped out, and getting the lectures done [is extremely difficult]. Because your brain is always running and you always want to be focused on something else when you really have to stop and focus on one thing for an extended amount of time is probably the most difficult time. Trying to finish up whatever thing you're working on at that time because your brain always wants to skip to the next thing." Dr. Mike 

“One of the lesser-known issues that the average person might not immediately associate with ADHD, working memory is the aspect of your memory that everything has to pass through on the way in and pass through on the way out. You can think of it as a workbench — or a chalkboard. There's limited room, and that space will fill up. When more information comes in, it pushes out the old stuff.” -Ryan Orwig In episode two of our podcast miniseries, Conversations About ADHD in med school, host Ryan Orwig returns with Mike, a former STATMed class participant, to discuss issues with working memory and how this can impact med students with ADHD.“I didn't even know it [working memory] was a thing. You just kind of compensate through your life. You use sticky notes or write things down, or find ways to compensate without really knowing what working memory is, that it's a problem, or that it can cause problems.” — Dr. Mike

Conversations About ADHD in Med School Part 1 Lectures in med school: you know they're essential. You know what's discussed will be on the exam. And, vitally, it may be something you need to save a life one day. But, if you're struggling, it might seem impossible to actually learn during lecture — especially if you're also navigating medical school with ADHD. In this new podcast miniseries, Conversations About ADHD in Med School, host Ryan Orwig and Mike, a former STATMed student, discuss the various ways learning in med school is complicated by ADHD. In this episode, they dig into the potential difficulties of learning in lecture. They discuss issues with impulsivity, distractibility, and inattention, as well as strategies to mitigate them."You feel guilty because you just wasted a whole day. You know you're going to have to get the information somehow, and you know how hard it is to catch up. You're tired because you've been fighting to pay attention for six or eight hours. You're angry and exhausted because everyone else just spent the same hours you did, but now they get to dinner, they get to go out and hang out with their friends. But you're trying to catch up and finish that eight hours. And you're not even close." - Dr. Mike

How One ER Doc Went on to a Dream Career After Failing A Board ExamIn this series, we‘re talking about something people rarely discuss: failing in med school and on boards. During these interviews, former STATMed students share some of their most vulnerable and scary moments. They talk about their “crisis points” — or their darkest hour in their medical careers when they realized they were about to fail or lose sight of their dreams. We look at what led up to these critical turning points and how these med students and doctors overcame them to achieve ultimate success. Navigating a Med School Crisis Point: Failing the BoardsIn this episode, host Ryan Orwig is back with Mike, a former STATMed Learning Class participant. Mike shares his second crisis point when he failed his COMLEX Step 2 exam. He outlines the bumps in the road and the steps he took to achieve his dream of becoming an emergency room physician after failing a board exam. “You take it (board exam). Then you go off on rotations and auditions and to all these different programs. You're trying to look good and work hard and get into one of these residency spots. And you're doing well, they like you, and they think you're a good fit. But then they pull your scores and see your Step 1 and your failed Step 2, and then you're back to the embarrassment of not doing well on testing because that's what everybody looks at.” - Mike, ER Doctor, and STATMed AlumniDon't miss the first part of Mike's story in Part 1.

Practical Ways to Include Retrieval Practice In Your Studying When it comes to study strategies, many of the students we work with tend to double down on the techniques that helped them get this far. But, sometimes, those methods fall a little short in the onslaught of information you're expected to know in medical school. If your go-to study strategy proves inefficient, retrieval practice is the med school study habit you need to try. This is the second of a two-part miniseries discussing retrieval practice. Listen to part one here. The Top Med School Study Habit You Need to Try: Retrieval Practice“There's a couple of components to retrieval practice that's important if you're going to do it correctly, You have to do the self-check. If you're doing a self-test, it's important to do a self-check for depth, breadth, and accuracy.” - Dr. Jim Culhane In this podcast episode, host Ryan Orwig is back with Dr. Jim Culhane to dig into ways students can incorporate retrieval practice as their go-to med school study habit. They share three different retrieval practice strategies students can use to maximize their studying. Be sure to stay up to date on our latest podcast episodes, videos, and posts by joining our mailing list!

Med school is astronomically hard. Students are responsible for an overwhelming amount of information at a whirlwind pace. And, chances are, for some, the study skills that got you through your undergrad aren't taking you as far as they used to. The STATMed Learning Program was created to share skills and strategies to help in med school. But don't just take our word for it. In this podcast, we hear from several alumni from the STATMed Study Skills Class who share their thoughts after taking this 10-day program the summer after their first year of med school.  They dive into how the skills and strategies they learned transformed how they approached med school. From frameworking and retrieval practice to implementing memory palaces, they dig into the approaches that help turn their med school experience around.

Dolly Parton doesn’t apologize for it, so I won’t either.”Our guest today is Dr. Elizabeth Johnson Million. Dr. Johnson Million graduated from University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine in 2016, but if you look at her resume, you might think she graduated quite a while ago. She has packed some amazing experiences into just a few short years. She started in private practice, moved to academia and is not the assistant director of Outreach and Engagement for the International Council for Veterinary Assessment, better known as the NAVLE people.

Don't Let These Common Pitfalls Derail You Over the years, we've seen the students and doctors we work with make many different test-taking errors. And we've seen patterns in the types of errors they make.  So, in this podcast mini-series, we're walking through 13 of the most common errors that medical students and doctors make on board exams and other tests. Test-Taking ErrorsIn this episode, Ryan and David discuss four more common mistakes med students and doctors make when taking medical board exams:  misreading the question and the clues, focusing on a single point of contact, rounding down, and twisting. We'll dig even deeper into test-taking pitfalls in future episodes. Be sure to stay up to date on our latest podcast episodes, videos, and posts by joining our mailing list! 

Sam Hollister, a University of Florida vet student, quizzes Dr. Conner on questions he came across in his prep for the NAVLE. Host: Dr. Bobbi Conner Guest: Sam Hollister Producer: Topher Conlan

Pitfalls to Avoid When Taking Medical Board Exams and Other Tests Over the past decade, we've seen the students and physicians we work with make a lot of mistakes on tests. But we've come to realize that the types of mistakes they make are surprisingly consistent. So much so, in fact, that we've been able to identify 13 common errors medical students and doctors make that cause them to miss points on board exams and other tests. In this mini-series, we dig deep into each “miss type,” or type of error we've seen. In this first episode of the series, we start with evaluating whether it's truly a test-taking issue or whether you simply don't know the material well enough — a miss type we call a “knowledge miss.” From there, we outline 3 additional ways test-takers can go wrong on exam day. We'll discuss other test-taking pitfalls in future episodes.

Hey y'all! It's been a hot minute since I've recorded a solo episode for y'all. A year ago I was entering the stressful season of NAVLE prep, and OH MY WORD! That was a long arduous exam. But I came out the other side rather un-scathed thanks to the amount of prep work that I put during the months leading up to the exam. In today's episode I wanted to share some of what that work entailed by comparing it to one of my favorite things, running! Now being a year removed from when I first started studying I can say with 100% certainty that training for a long-distance race is very similar to prepping for the NAVLE and in this episode I go through the tips and tricks that I learned from my own long distance training and how to implement them in your own NAVLE prep. This is NOT a "how-to" podcast, but rather a list of "things to consider" as you enter this season of NAVLE prep. I hope this is helpful and provides some encouragement. Have a comment or a question?

Little did we know that five hours after recording this episode NAVLE results would be posted. And then less than 24 hours after that our final exam results were posted. Talk about a double whammy. But as all of this happened after recording you get to hear us talk about our continued frustrations of waiting. And waiting. AND waiting....... This is also an episode of reflection, because though we hate to say it, there are only 2 more episodes of Scrubbed In to come. Can you believe we've been at this podcast for a whole year!!??!?!?! We've seen ourselves grow as veterinarians this past year and you've gotten to listen right alongside us. Thanks for tuning in, and we hope you'll stick around for the next podcasting adventure.

Hey y'all. It's been a minute! . We've been gone from the podcast sphere for quite a while. But it's all been because of the beast of an exam known as the NAVLE (North American Veterinary Licensing Exam). Pretty much every waking hour for the past 4-6 weeks at least, has been spent either in core rotations or studying. It hasn't been fun to say the least. . However.... we now get to say that we have completed the NAVLE!!!! which means we can take a huge breath of fresh air and focus on the next things in life; like finals, finding jobs and finishing our last year of vet school!! Crazy, right!?!? . In today's episode, Dani and I will get you caught up on everything that's happened these past 6 weeks. We talk about what our farm animal rotation was like and what we've learned. We also talk about what it was like to take the NAVLE (granted we can't talk about any of the content of the actual exam, per testing regulations). . We are excited to be back and look forward to putting our more episodes in the future. Though they may not be as regular as we would all like due to our rotation schedules, we will do our best.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thatvet-life/message

Well Friends. We've reached the final countdown.... to the NAVLE that is. . There are only a few short weeks left in Core Rotations, which means the NAVLE is creeping closer with each day. As such Dani and I will be taking a bit of a break from the podcast and social media so we can focus on studying for the exam. You can expect to hear from us After we finish our NAVLE, at which point the podcast will start up again. But until then we will be on radio silence. . Now that we've covered that, we can talk about this week's episode! Dani and I are still in our equine rotation, and we each had a bit of fun trying out different procedures this past week. I (Mo) was on soft tissue surgery, while Dani was out driving across the countryside with the general practice.  Additionally, Dani tells her funny story about a near miss she had with a horse a few weeks ago, and I talk about meeting one of my co-hosts from an episode I recorded last year, Dr. Dave Nicol! . I want to thank each and every one of you who have joined us each week to listen along as we share our journey through final year. The number of you who have reached out to say hi and share your own stories just makes me love this profession even more! Thank you for coming along for the journey. We'll chat soon. See ya. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thatvet-life/message

Hey y'all! In this week's episode we're getting you Scrubbed In to what's been happening on our Equine Rotation of Final Year. It's a shorter rotation than our small animal blocks, but still jam packed full of experience and information. A part of our Equine Rotation includes scheduled time on an 'Out of Hours' rota in the hospital. We call it Cottage Duty, but you'll have to listen to this week's episode to find out why we call it that. Also in this episode we break down the lessons we learn from being on Cottage Duty, specifically how it applies to being a good Top Gun (check out episode 3 of That Vet Life to learn where that reference originated from). On another note, as Dani and I approach the final stretch of core rotations and our NAVLE exams we will be taking a brief break from the podcast. So after next week's episode you can expect a bit of radio silence as we focus all our energy on our studies to prep for exams. As always, we love hearing from y'all and you can reach us on Instagram @ThatVet_Life and @adventurous.vet Till next time, see ya! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thatvet-life/message

Time to Scrub In! . In this week's episode, Dani and I are continuing with our theme of core rotations by talking about our experiences from this past week in General Practice. While Dani was in the Vet School, I found myself at an external practice that is associated with the vet school. So while we were both working in General Practice, our experiences were rather different. From consults to surgery and everything in between, we share the lessons we learned during this past week in General Practice. In other news, this past week was exciting for another reason.... We both scheduled our NAVLE's which means the clock has started to tick with how much time remains before the big day!! Like most final year students this means the next few months are going to be filled with lots and lots of anxiety and VetPrep! Listen along as we breakdown what the NAVLE is, why we have to take it and how we are planning to study for this seven and a half our long beast of an exam. For as serious and exhausting as this past week was, it wasn't without it's own hilarity that gave Dani flashbacks to our first year of vet school! But you'll have to listen along to learn why. . We had a lot of fun recording this episode and we hope you enjoy listening. As always, we love hearing from y'all.

On this week's episode, Dani and I are getting you Scrubbed In to how our first week of General Practice went. This is now our third block of core rotations and we can'e believe how fast the previous two have gone as we begin the countdown to when we will take the NAVLE!! . Listen along as we share some of our favorite parts of the past week, as well as what we are looking forward to in this block of General Practice. In addition to our usual vet school banter, Dani and I get into a long discussion about self awareness and the potential implications of taking personality tests at the start of vet school/ as we enter practice. To provide a full experience we each took the Myer's Briggs Personality Indicator test (you can take it by clicking here) and found some exciting and interesting results.  . We know some vet school's have their first year students take this test at the beginning of their vet school career, but what are the implications of taking this test and does it really make a difference? Listen along to this week's episode to find out. . We want to hear from you!  Have you ever taken the Myer's Brigg's Personality Indicator test as a part of your veterinary career?

The countdown to final year continues in this week's episode of Scrubbed In. With only a week and a bit left until we don the title of final year students, Dani and I are starting to face new challenges, like preparing for the NAVLE, financial responsibilities and the reality that in a short time we will be the ones making the important decisions in the lives of animals. Thankfully our school is helping with this transition by providing countless learning opportunities. In this week, we get you scrubbed in to our small group tutorials and practicals focused on first opinion decision making. In these courses you don't have your notes nor do you even get to see the cases before the class. All you have are your colleagues and your own knowledge and experience. Listen along as we discuss how we deal with these scenarios and how it's preparing us for facing life in the real world. Additionally we chat about an exciting optional practical we took part in this week over at the equine hospital that involved a strong Top Gun reference.

My guest on today’s show is cat vet extraordinaire, Dr Susan Little. Susan received her DVM from Ontario Veterinary College, Guelph and has been in feline practice since 1990, achieving board certification in Feline Practice in 1997. She is part owner of two feline speciality practices in Ottawa and is a board member/Past President (2015) of the American Assoc. of Feline Practitioners, Dr Little also serves on the board of the International Council for Veterinary Assessment (the dudes that set the NAVLE). Susan is undoubtedly one of the hardest working speakers on the veterinary circuit, her Airmiles collection is only outweighed by her risk of DVT, such is the time she spends travelling globally to educate us all. But all of her hard work has paid dividends in the form of huge recognition from her peers with accolades including from the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association Small Animal Practitioner Award (2010), the NAVC Small Animal Speaker of the Year Award (2013), and the International Society of Feline Medicine/Hill's Pet Nutrition Award for outstanding contributions to feline medicine (2013). Finally, it would be rude not to mention the two books Susan has edited and co-authored: First up, The Cat: Clinical Medicine and Management, and also August’s Consultations in Feline Internal Medicine. Now, just before we jump into the episode, I just wanted to drop a quick word from our show sponsor which today is the VetX Graduate Mentoring community. If you are a practice owner and want to offer your new vets a greater level of support so they grow faster and stay longer with your practice, then jump onto my website drdavenicol.com/vetx-grad and learn how we are helping graduates across the world thrive in practices just like yours. The class is open for global entry now so check it out. This was my first time spending time with Susan one on one and I hope it will not be my last, she was a riot from start to finish giving generously with both time and knowledge. But what struck me the most was her passion and enthusiasm for both veterinary medicine and life in general. So without further ado, it is my great pleasure to bring you my conversation with the amazing, Dr Susan Little. In the show we cover: 1. Susan’s Oyster Fetish 2. The really dull, but (probably) authentic reasons she became a vet. 3. Her views on the current (poor) "State Of The Veterinary Union”. 4. The tough points in her career and the tools she uses to maintain her state of mind and performance. 5. Why she loves checklists and thinks we should use them way more in veterinary medicine. 6. Life auditing and how to say no. 7. Multiple tips she has for all clinics to improve their feline experience (at no or little cost. Follow Susan at @catvetsusan on twitter, Instagram and Facebook.

In this episode I talk with Kim Carew, a current final year student at the Royal (dick) School of Veterinary Studies. Though a short time compared to the coming years in practice, the four years most students spend in vet school play a pivotal role in who we become as clinicians.

Dr. Brittany Koether is originally from Connecticut. She attended undergraduate school at the University of Connecticut, went to Oklahoma State Veterinary School (2015 graduate), and now is an associate veterinarian at EQuiVET Medicine in Ohio. Her interview took place at her home in Ohio with her German Shepherd puppy Kahlua bouncing around the screen and tugging at Brittany’s sleeve the entire time. Dr. Koether always wanted to be a vet; she grew up with police dogs in the house and started working in a small animal practice as a teenager. While at the University of Connecticut she had her first formal introduction to large animals while working in the livestock barn. She wound up heading to California to ride with equine veterinarian Dr. Joe Dowd, who Brittany describes as a strong mentor, and fell in love with the athleticism of horses. She had the opportunity to hotwalk horses for Bob Baffert, including being “dragged around” by Mr. Charlie, while others looked on. She educated herself on horse breeds and various horse disciplines. Dr. Koether really took the time to absorb all the horse knowledge she could, from the vets, the trainers, and of course the horses themselves. Dr. Koether described getting into Vet School as a task in itself; she had good recommendations, good experience, and not the best GPA. When she was accepted into Oklahoma State she had no idea where Oklahoma even was on the map! Arriving initially as a fast talking new englander, leaving as a seasoned veterinarian with a slightly slower pace of speaking. Getting through classes in vet school was also a challenge, but she really relied on the extracurricular activities in leadership and organized medicine throughout school. Knowing she wanted to go into the equine world, she geared her school toward internships, wound up at an internship in North Carolina and then went directly into practice. Her current role as an ambulatory veterinarian in Ohio was also something unpredictable, as she applied for the job on a whim, but then completely fell in love with the practice and most importantly her team. We talked about challenges and Dr. Koether had a big challenge during her last year of school and starting her internship. She did not initially pass the NAVLE (the veterinary licensing exam) so she was a doctor, but unable to get licensed right off the bat. Brittany says starting a competitive internship after not succeeding on NAVLE completely consumed her mind. In addition to the stress of sleepless nights, the intern life of always being on call, and learning so much new information, Brittany has the added demand of needing to study for NAVLE. She overcame this emotional hurdle by surrounding herself with positive people, friends and mentors; and she did something for HERSELF nearly every day - starting with a quick workout. She passed the NAVLE and finished her internship year, even after her intern-mate left the internship within a couple of months. Brittany says: "It's better to have a team around you", with respect to getting through tough times. She also relies on asking those around her what they would do and talking it out. The near future for Dr. Koether includes staying at EQuiVET Medicine in Ohio and developing more as an associate. She hopes Dr. McFadden and her team continue to grow together; she loves having that team to rely on. Down the road, Brittany sees herself in a practice ownership position. She is also involved in a telemedicine company, Televet, focused on improving the client-patient relationship. When asked to define High Performance, Dr. Koether thinks of athletics; your mindset is primary, actual performance is secondary to that. It all begins and ends in what you think about and how you approach a challenge.

The near future for Dr. Koether includes staying at EQuiVET Medicine in Ohio and developing more as an associate. She hopes Dr. McFadden and her team continue to grow together; she loves having that team to rely on. Down the road, Brittany sees herself in a practice ownership position. She is also involved in a telemedicine company, Televet, focused on improving the client-patient relationship. When asked to define High Performance, Dr. Koether thinks of athletics; your mindset is primary, actual performance is secondary to that. It all begins and ends in what you think about and how you approach a challenge.
