In this VETgirl veterinary continuing education podcast, we interview Dr. Marisa Brunetti, VMD, Chief Veterinary Officer and Dr. Christina Moore, DVM, MBA, Senior Director of Clinical Excellence at IndeVets. Weâre talking about importance of and need for a good system of support for veterinarians. Remember vet school when you were constantly surrounded by support, medical expertise, compassion, and a community of people who shared your passion? Weâd probably get more than a few raised hands if we asked a room full of vets if, by contrast, their days now had a lot more isolation and frustration, and a lot less support and collaboration. Thatâs why, seven years ago, Dr. Brunetti helped create IndeVets on three firm conditions that created a radical change from whatâs become the accepted standard in the vet industry. Join us as we hear from Drs. Brunetti and Moore about the radical support they provide for their vets so they can do what they love with the support they deserve.

In this VETgirl veterinary continuing education podcast, we interview Dr. Andrew Heller and Dr. Maritza Goller at IndeVets on how to build a career around your life, not the other way around. Achieving professional success as a veterinarian does NOT have to mean compromising what matters to you personally. And it never should, no matter what age or life stage youâre in today, or that youâll be in 20 years into your career. You heard that right, practicing great medicine as a veterinarian CAN be achieved alongside that seemingly elusive end game of work-life-balance. Life is not a straight line â priorities and responsibilities change. But our desire to practice good medicine remains the same. Does that mean we have to compromise quality to balance other priorities? Or change jobs as everything else changes? Not at IndeVets. Join us as we explore the importance of building your career in the right place. A place that creates a way for veterinarians to build their careers around their lives â not the other way around.
