We are reimagining veterinary education and learning to understand professional identity to impact both career satisfaction and patient care!
In this episode of Vet Life Reimagined, Dr. Sheena Warman shares her fascinating, full-circle career journey: from growing up captivated by animal behavior to general mixed practice and internal medicine, authoring one of the most practical small animal medicine texts, and now leading educational innovation in both the UK and the US. She also explains how inviting general practitioners into academic settings has bridged the gap between education and real-world practice.
