24. Meanderings On The Pursuit of Academic Parasites19 Sep 202300:16:32

On this episode of the podcast, our host, Matt Asciutto reflects back on how our early academic pursuits shape our entire worldview - and how often times we shape an entire life based on guidance that may or may not have any merit. This is true for veterinarians, of course; but any pre-professional student likely can see little pieces of their own journey in this as well. Thank you, Dr. Katherine Fogelberg, for stirring up some obviously deep emotions in our conversation from the previous episode (Episode 23) "Weird, Complicated Parasites."

By the end of the episode, we hope to offer an alternative view of an academically minded path - and some options about how to give advice to students coming up through the academia pipeline.

23. Weird, Complicated Parasites ft. Katherine Fogelberg29 Aug 202301:34:12
On this episode of the podcast we are joined by amateur flautist and professional educator, Dr. Katherine Fogelberg. Matt and Katherine (ok, ok - Dean Fogelberg) talk about witchcraft, battlefields, and the inequitable distribution of talent. Dr. Fogelberg is the Associate Dean for Professional Programs and Associate Professor at Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine.    www.thegreatestprofession.com   The Greatest Profession Podcast Episode 23: “Weird, Complicated Parasites” is streaming now! Find it on Spotify, Apple, Google, or wherever you get your podcasts.  

Dr. Katherine Fogelberg's initial interest in veterinary medicine was ignited, not surprisingly after witnessing a castration procedure. During this conversation we discuss Dr. Fogelberg's journey through music, the army, teaching, and ultimately back to the interest that started it all: veterinary medicine. 

It's not every day that you talk to a Dean of a veterinary college that has experience shaping a curriculum for medicine on the battlefield. Although, maybe not so far fetched...

22. Meanderings On Words to Say25 Aug 202300:05:55

On this episode of the podcast, our host, Matt Asciutto reflects back on something that was brought up in the last episode "Wouldn't Say the Words," featuring Dr. Robert Parkins. Specifically: what a veterinarian can say when asked "what do you do?"

By the end of the episode, we hope to offer a few alternate job titles you can throw out in the hopes of avoiding uncomfortable conversations.

20. Meanderings On Success and Silly Songs07 Aug 202300:31:25

On this episode of the podcast, our host, Matt Asciutto reflects back on our experience at the AVMA Convention and the complexities involved in defining success. He also premiers his new song "Oh Hold (a cordial request)," a musical representation of what happens when an emergency veterinarian becomes captivated by the Poison Control hold music and slips into a trance. 

By the end of the episode, we hope to offer an alternate understand of what success means: informed more about true outcome rather than whatever expectation was laid out at the start. Additionally, we hope the listeners will be encouraged to seek out the odd things in their lives that bring them joy.

Most importantly: Matt would like everyone to appreciate just how many guitar parts were recorded for the song. A great many.

Meanderings: On Fingers and Timelines19 Jun 202300:23:18

On this episode of the podcast, our host, Matt Asciutto reflects back on themes from the last episode: No Extra Fingers Left. He particularly finds himself ensorcelled by the notion of timelines and how we compare our lives to the trajectories of the lives of others. 

At the end of the episode he asks a few things of the audience:

First, define what are the valuable aspects of life for you. In other words, what do you want out of this life?

Second, take stock of what you have truly accomplished in this life, particularly paying attention to the things that don't fit within traditional life timelines. 

Third, if you feel behind on something, but that something isn't really all that important to you, work on letting it go. But if you feel behind with regards to something that truly is important, then get moving.

In the conversation Matt found himself thinking “man, I would work at this place...” - but that was met immediately by extreme anxiety of resistance to being employed by others. So, turns out, even in the most ideal situation, Matt is like “nope - don’t you dare hand me a W2!”

  • Learning from mistakes and taking risks are essential for growth in veterinary practice.
  • Hands-on education and real-world experiences are valuable in preparing veterinarians for practice.
  • There is a range of veterinary practice styles, and finding the right fit is important for personal and professional satisfaction.
  • Teaching and mentoring others can be fulfilling and contribute to the growth of the veterinary profession.
  • Humor and the ability to navigate unpredictable situations are important skills in veterinary practice.
  • Recognizing a mismatch in practice settings and finding a practice that aligns with personal values and goals is crucial for long-term success and well-being. Balancing employee fit and practice needs is crucial for a successful veterinary practice.
  • Admitting when there is a bad fit and offering optimism can help maintain positive relationships with employees.
  • Workplace culture and brand identity are important in differentiating practices and attracting the right clients.
  • Consistent processes and approaches can lead to better outcomes for both veterinarians and clients.
  • Consulting and teaching can be rewarding career paths for veterinarians with a passion for improving practice operations.
