DVM Loading... Podcast

Submitted by Katlyn Marr and Karling Hemstreet, Texas Tech University SVM

Veterinary school can be daunting from a lot of aspects. From getting admitted to your dream school to graduating with the coveted DVM behind your name, it can be difficult to navigate life as a veterinary professional. During lunch one day, two first year veterinary students decided to take the leap and discuss the relevant issues that many young professional students face. Thus, DVM Loading… Podcast was born. With your hosts, Katlyn Marr and Karling Hemstreet, DVM Loading… serves as a platform for pre-vet students, current veterinary students, practicing veterinarians, and their families to discuss the real world highs and lows of being in veterinary school. As first year veterinary students at Texas Tech University School of Veterinary Medicine, Katlyn and Karling wanted to unite future, current, and past veterinary students to the practicing veterinary industry to leave a mark on those that need encouragement, advice, or support. When listeners tune into weekly episodes of DVM Loading… they will get discussions about advice on applying to vet school, how to handle rejections, imposter syndrome, finding friends and mentors, how to get involved in the community and clubs, life in general as a vet student, and SO MUCH MORE! The ladies of DVM Loading… plan to pass the torch to fellow classmates once they reach graduation, so the podcast can continue to serve as a platform for information and advice as veterinary medicine will most definitely look different from how it did when they started the podcast! While Katlyn and Karling are from Texas, DVM Loading… is for everyone, from other states as well as countries around the world, with the goal of having guests from other veterinary schools for additional insight. DVM Loading… is the place for future and current veterinary professionals to gain knowledge and camaraderie from others experiencing similar life events. So if you’re looking for advice or just wanting to reminisce on life as a veterinary student, tune in every Monday for new episodes! DVM Loading… is available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
