In this week's episode I am joined by Dr. Sabrina Cooper @dr.sabrina.horse.vet as we talk about her transition from vet student to veterinarian and what this looked like through the lens of the internship she has undertaken in her first year out of vet school. Despite the species differences between our paths in the profession, Sabrina and I talk about one of the challenges that all new grads working in clinical practice face....the challenge of learning and developing client communication skills i.e. storytelling skills. We talk about the fumbles we both experienced in our first client interactions and how we used those failures to develop successful skills and methods that we now use today. Through this discussion we brainstorm ways that vet school and vet students can work on honing these skills before graduating and how in their first jobs, new grads can advocate for better mentorship when talking about communication skills.
