Press Release: "Chats with the Chatfields"

Chatfields and AVMA Trust launch recurring segment for  veterinary students 

“Chats with the Chatfields” is excited to announce the launch of a recurring segment within  their hit podcast. The Chatfields have partnered with the AVMA Trust to bring listeners “V’s  View from Vet School.” This monthly recurring segment will follow Veronica, a veterinary  student, as she takes the journey to become a veterinarian. 

Veronica has a unique pre-vet school background: She is a non-traditional student with  previous experience working in public health epidemiology, as a forensic analyst for a law  enforcement agency, as a veterinary technician, and in private sector industry. Her perspective  is anything but boring! 

Once each month, “V” will share her thoughts on current events, her studies, and interesting  veterinary school happenings as part of the regular episode. Pet lovers and veterinarians alike  will be entertained with this peek into the mystery that is veterinary training. 

Becoming a veterinarian still ranks high in career-path surveys of young people across the  nation and, given the focus on zoonotic diseases and emerging infectious diseases, public  interest in the veterinary profession could continue to see increased interest.1 Communication  between pet lovers and veterinarians is key to providing animals the opportunity to live their  best lives; and insight into the training and process that creates today’s veterinary medical  professionals can only enhance communication among the care team.2 Vet students around the  world will be entertained (and perhaps comforted) hearing that their experience in the grueling  veterinary training is a shared one.
