I’m a DVM for both a wildlife center and an aquarium. I went to a zoo today and they said they had a discount for healthcare professionals but vets weren’t on the list?! I don’t really care about a stupid $2 discount but really? Why doesn‘t anyone acknowledge us as doctors? And at a zoo, no joke.

There are many things i love about my internship, but the long long hours are so draining. 60+ hour weeks are starting to take a toll on me and I don't know what to do. I don't know how I'll last for the next 11 months.

I don't want to lose myself in this year. Any advice is appreciated

What apps/websites do yall use for job hunting. I’m a DVM who just wants to explore her options. I had a contract lined up straight out of school with a clinic I had worked at during vet school and didn’t have to job hunt. I’m not hell-bent on leaving, but I would like to explore other options since I feel like my expectations about mentorship have not been met. Any advice appreciated!

I was just hoping to get some encouraging advice as I’m starting a new (and my second) specialty internship in neurology. I finished my first specialty internship at a very busy private practice the past month. Although I felt ready for a residency, I did not match into one. Starting this new specialty internship at a practice that hasn’t had interns before has had me feel very discouraged that I wasn’t as ready as I initially thought. I feel like I’m starting from the beginning again, and I’m not sure if that’s just me adjusting to a new attending. Any words of advice or encouragement would be appreciated - especially if anyone went through this before.

I’ll try to keep this as short as possible. I am a 4th year student who will be graduating in January. I mention this because I don’t have a lot of time to decide because option 1 needs an answer soon.
I have two paths available for me to take and I’m unsure which way to go.

Option 1: general practice with great mentorship. I did an externship there during 2nd year and had a great experience. They are now offering me a job. I really enjoyed the culture, mentorship, and case load. If I take this route, I plan to become ABVP boarded eventually. They have also offered me the opportunity to do urgent care and continuing education in ultrasound which is really important to me.

Option 2: doing a rotating internship with the goal of MAYBE going into internal medicine

My issue is I honestly do not think vaccine appointments are for me. This is my only reservation towards pursuing the general practice route. I really enjoy internal medicine and handling more complex cases. I’m just scared that if I don’t do an internship now I’ll close the door on the possibility of pursuing internal medicine in the future.

I guess I’m just looking for some insight and pros and cons. Thoughts on ABVP? Thoughts on internships vs mentorship?
