Description

From discovering his calling in veterinary neurology to tackling the realities of practice ownership, Dr. Adam Moeser sits down with Dr. Michael Jerkins for a candid conversation on the highs and hurdles of a veterinary career. He shares how an open mind (and a few detours) led him to neurology, why mentorship and internships are game changers, and what aspiring specialists should know before committing to a path. 

What is the biggest misconception about owning a veterinary practice? How did COVID-19 reshape demand for care? And where does the industry go as corporate consolidation accelerates? Dr. Moeser pulls back the curtain on everything from his daily neurology cases like epilepsy and intervertebral disc disease to the financial, personal, and systemic challenges veterinarians face today. 

This episode mixes real talk on family, balance, and the business side of veterinary medicine. And yes, we even settled the cats-versus-dogs debate — Dr. Moeser’s answer might surprise you. Whether you are a vet student, practice owner, or just curious about the future of animal care, this one is for you.
