Welcome to episode #17 of Scrubbed In: The DVM Journey – the podcast where we dive into the wild, rewarding, and sometimes unpredictable world of becoming a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Renata Ramos, a board-certified veterinary ophthalmologist and associate professor at the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Ramos walks us through her journey into veterinary ophthalmology, what drew her to the specialty, and what students often misunderstand about it. We talk about common eye diseases that tend to get overlooked in school, tips to make ophthalmic exams less intimidating, and practical advice for students looking to strengthen their skills. Dr. Ramos also shares the most frequent eye-related mistakes new vets make—and how to know when it’s time to refer a patient to a specialist.
