You Can Go Your Own Way: Finding Your Own Path In Veterinary Medicine

The career path that most of us imagine when we think of veterinarians or veterinary technicians is the role of a general practitioner or technician who takes care of small companion animals. 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.
