In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Bob Murtaugh, someone who’s done just about everything in veterinary medicine. From starting out as a 15-year-old kennel attendant to becoming a double-boarded specialist in emergency and critical care, Bob’s career is nothing short of inspiring. We talk about what true leadership in our profession looks like, why he’s helping launch Rocky Vista University College of Veterinary Medicine, and how mid-level practitioners could change the way we deliver care. Bob also shares why mentorship and communication are just as important as medical skills, and we wrap up with his thoughts on finding joy in this work and the importance of paying it forward.
