I'm grateful for all the passion and wisdom that people bring to this community. We have members that are just entering the field and others that have been around for 30+ years. Let's pay it forward (as the cool kids say). What advice would you give someone new to vet med in regards to caring for their physical and emotional health? This is a safe space and there are no wrong answers. What works for one might not for another. But having more tools in the toolbox of health can only help! Please share your perspective.

Hey friends. I'm putting together some free live webinars for the community and I'd like to know what days and times would work best for people. I can record these and post in the collective so everyone gets a chance to get the material either way, but being there live will allow Q&A. Right now I'm working on a clinic body mechanics / ergonomics session and one on quick and easy mobility / exercises to prevent injuries. Comment below and tell me what works best for you and I'll update our Calendar! (Don't forget to include your timezone)

One of the best parts of the Collective is that we’re not just here to learn — we’re here to connect. And sometimes… those connections happen beyond the keyboard. This thread is for all things Meet-Up: ✅ Conferences you’re attending ✅ Local or regional events ✅ Speaking gigs ✅ Virtual hangouts you’d love to see inside the community ✅ “Hey, I’ll be in [city] — want to grab a coffee?” posts If you’re headed somewhere this season, drop it in the comments! And if you’d like to host a virtual meet-up here in the virtual community, comment or DM me — I’m happy to help schedule and post it on our community calendar. Let’s make this profession feel a little smaller and a whole lot more connected.
