🩺 Hey {{FirstName|there}}...

Your first cat walked back into the carrier when the consult was over, the insurance portal accepted the attachment first time, and the owner you needed picked up on the first call.

And as always...please take care of yourself; you deserve it, and if you can, someone else too 🤗

This week we explore...

  • What if your next veterinary job left your daily drive behind?

  • When every decision feels urgent, your practice needs a North Star

  • A perfect GPA is not the only path into vet school

...and so much more...
