On today's episode we sit down with Kate Toyer (she/her) of Australian Rainbow Vets & Allies, and Mo Miller (they/them) from Pride Veterinary Medical Community, to get a first hand perspective on what their experiences as non-binary and trans individuals in the veterinary medical community has been like. Our guests speak on what holding these identities mean for them, the struggles and challenges they've faced, and share their views on what we all can do to become better allies and advocates for their communities.
On today's episode, we take some time to chat with AVMA's Dr. Latonia Craig about the importance of community, especially in our current day and age. With so many new challenges to navigate and the uncertainty of what changes in higher education are yet to come, Dr. Greenhill and Dr. Craig discuss how building connections and showing up in the community around you can make positive change.
On today's episode we sit down with Dr. Malathi Raghavan, Dr. Tangela Williams-Hill, and Dr. Maria Jose Navarrete Talloni to discuss how they've experienced imposter syndrome throughout their career in academic veterinary medicine. Our guests offer a unique perspective on the concept of imposter syndrome, how their identities have added extra considerations and how their perception of the phenomenon has changed as they have progressed in their careers.
Join us as we sit down with Dr. Clint Neill to discuss how economics play a crucial role in determining the future trends in veterinary medical education.
On this episode of the podcast, Dr. Jackie Parr (University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine) and Dr. Erin Harrop (University of Denver) discuss how weight stigma and sizeism can come into play during interactions between veterinary providers and pet owners. The current language used to discuss veterinary patients' body conditions can contribute to the stigma surrounding weight and potentially alienate owners, leading to obstacles in care.
137: Dyslexia In Veterinary Medicine by Lisa Greenhill
136: Systems Change In Diversity And Wellbeing by Lisa Greenhill
On this episode of the pod, Drs. Jodi Boyd (CSU), Ryane Englar (UAZ), and William Gilles (private practitioner) stop by to discuss the "Gold Standard." With numerous efforts to expand access to veterinary care globally, there is often an unconscious emphasis on veterinary care offerings at the highest level. This is seen as a major barrier to getting underserved communities in the door--fear of judgment and embarrassment that such care is beyond their reach. During this chat, guests talk about the language around the Gold Standard and how the gaps can be bridged.
134: Gender Affirming Care by Lisa Greenhill
Dr. Jacquelyn Pelzer of VA-MD College of Veterinary Medicine joins Mx. Monae Roberts from UC-Davis' School of Veterinary Medicine to talk about the rise of commercial DNA tests. The ways in which we conceptualize and process newly acquired information about our family ties suggest that racial/ethnic identities are fluid and constantly evolving. The tests are forcing us to reconsider the boxes that are used to define us. And, we're doing it to our pets! A mutt is no longer a mutt with the rise of commercial DNA tests. The guests ponder what does it mean for all of us!
On this episode of the podcast, Mississippi State DVM student, Sylmia Shepherd and faculty-practitioner, Dr. Noe Galvan, log on to discuss their experiences as individuals from rural backgrounds. They talk about the unique experiences they have had as well as their choices about whether to practice in a rural community in the future.
On this episode of the show, Drs. Amber Labelle, Cristie Kamiya, and Izzy Hijiri discuss issues related to substance abuse and sobriety as professionals. Our chat covers experiences with total abstinence, what sobriety means on a personal level and some of the fears experienced when as a veterinarian you think you might have a problem.

On this episode of the show, sociologist Jenifer Berry stops by to discuss the evolution of the first-generation student experience. Families are much more complex and students come from a vast array of backgrounds resulting in college experiences that are very much akin to how we've defined the first-gen experience. How do we make institutions #studentready as opposed to making students more #collegeready?
On this episode of Diversity and Inclusion on Air, Drs. Leslie Sprunger and Lisa Meeks discuss the creation of AAVMC Technical Standards Exemplar. The conversation explores ableism in health professions education and how we think about disability.
