⚡BREAKING NEWS⚡ You KNOW what you’re doing!
Seriously! As a new grad/early career veterinarian, I know it’s difficult to trust your training, but time and again you guys are showing us that you KNOW medicine.
But when you don’t know that you know, common workplace scenarios can derail your day and fill you with doubt and limiting beliefs.
Learn how to overcome this obstacle and own your abilities with my blog post, “You Know What You’re Doing: A Guide to Stomping Out Self Doubt,” going live on our website tomorrow!

When we see only snippets of our colleagues’ and clients’ lives, it can restrict our perception of who they really are. Our minds fill in the blanks, leading to potentially unfair judgments and presumptions.
But there is SO MUCH going on that we know nothing about—including GOOD things! Fortunately, we don’t need to see (or hear) about these things to know they exist. The next time you’re tempted to judge someone, remember the parts of your life that you don’t share and choose to be patient, compassionate, and kind!

Some cases resonate for unexpected reasons. My recent patient Bagel the beagle was more than a successful CPR resuscitation (applause here) 👏 , he was a catalyst for powerful conversations and learning in our practice. Read Bagel’s full story and the changes he inspired in my upcoming blog, “Everyday Leadership in Vet Med,” which drops tomorrow!

🥳As practice leaders and mentors, we should be the biggest cheerleaders of new and early career veterinarians. But the truth is, amid the daily grind and our own professional growth it’s easy to overlook the seemingly small gains that are ENORMOUS wins for new grads.
Take a moment to remember what it felt like when….
🏆You received your diploma
🏆You signed your name with DVM or VMD for the first time
🏆You received your business cards
🏆You had your first successful intubation, OHE, jugular catheter, parvo survivor, ultrasound-guided cysto, etc.
Remove the lens of experience and see these moments as a new, eager, and proud graduate seeing their dreams come to life. Take on their infectious energy and pride as your own, revel in it, and CELEBRATE their victories—and this beautiful, wonderful thing we’re lucky enough to call our profession—together! Win-win!🙌

Our mentee packs (small groups of 3-4 mentees + mentor) are one of the most popular aspects of Ready, Vet, Go.
WHY?
❤️Powerful networking — Small groups build strong bonds as they learn and grow together. Many former RVG mentees remain close to their packmates and continue to support and encourage each other long after they complete the program.
❤️Safe space — Packs provide a safe and supportive place to be vulnerable as new graduates navigate the inevitable challenges and failures of their first year.
❤️Personalized learning — Mentees enjoy greater mentor access, ensuring personalized feedback and guidance, while their packmates contribute unique insights and ideas, helping the mentee develop a diverse and well-rounded perspective.
READY TO FIND YOUR PACK? While our July cohort just launched, more are on the way! Keep following us here and sign up for our email newsletter to ensure you’re notified when enrollment opens again!

HOT TOPIC: Should veterinarians be compensated for mentoring?
💰Gone are the days when an esteemed veterinarian would take a new doc under their wing for purely altruistic reasons. While most of us are compelled to give back to the profession, let’s face it, mentorship is HARD WORK. It can take an already busy veterinarian away from their responsibilities and may even impact their wages.
💰Compensating mentors for their time, effort, and generosity can offset potential losses and ensure a beneficial relationship for the mentee and mentor, promote greater mentor involvement, and ensure a sustainable mentorship practice.
💰Are you compensating your mentors? Let me know below!

The veterinary profession is the best! We get to help animals, pet owners, and our community. There are so many satisfied vets just going about their day, doing their jobs, and making a difference.
