Two Truths, a Lie, and a Rabid Raccoon | Vet School After Dark on Vet Candy

Episode 453

Monday, October 5, 2026 • Duration 01:22:33

Our fifth host is finally here! Meet Emese Avdeyenkova, a first-year veterinary student at Rowan University, former U.S. Army officer, and mom to a one-year-old, as she shares how she's balancing vet school, parenting, and a brand-new career path.

Also on this episode of Vet School After Dark:

Jeremiah Pouncy (Cornell, fourth year) reveals his summer plans: co-hosting a wellness retreat and wildlife medicine excursion in Costa Rica with Dr. Sheddy, the sailing vet.

Jess Michell (Ohio State, second year) leads a serious conversation about rising rabies cases in the US. Is vaccine hesitancy to blame, or are economic barriers to pet care the real driver?

JC Alvarado Colon (Colorado State, fourth year) breaks down artificial intelligence in veterinary medicine and what it means for students and future vets.

Kennedi Robinson (Purdue, fourth year) wraps things up with a game of Two Truths and a Lie. Can you guess which one's fake?

We get advice from Dr. Matt Evans, veterinarian, author of Chomping at the Bit, and comedian!

Vet School After Dark is the podcast hosted entirely by veterinary students, sharing the real side of vet school: the wins, the stress, the clinical rotations, and the life in between. Whether you're a pre-vet student, a current DVM student, or a veterinary professional, pull up a chair.

Miami, Empty Fridges & Back-to-School Chaos: Real Talk on Vet School After Dark

Episode 451

Monday, August 31, 2026 • Duration 01:00:04

Summer is officially over, and JC, Jeremiah, Jess, and Kennedi are here with stories, questionable life choices, and the reality check that comes with another year of vet school.

Kennedi is fresh off an externship in Miami - literally, she just landed back in Indiana- and still mourning the beach, while the crew catches up on summer adventures and what they are looking forward to this year.

Then things get real. They talk about food insecurity in veterinary school, what it actually looks like, why so many students quietly struggle with it, and where to find help when money gets tight. Because surviving vet school is hard enough without wondering where your next meal is coming from.

Living Well with Dr. Jessica Turner: Behind the Scenes of WVC Nashville with Viticus Group CEO Andrea Davis

Episode 450

Wednesday, August 12, 2026 • Duration 35:47

What does it take to bring one of veterinary medicine’s most iconic conferences to Music City for the very first time?

On this episode of Living Well with Dr. Jessica Turner, Dr. Jessica sits down with Andrea Davis, CEO of Viticus Group, the organization behind the legendary WVC veterinary conferences, for a behind-the-scenes look at WVC Nashville and the people, planning, and big ideas bringing this nearly 100-year-old veterinary tradition to Nashville.

Andrea shares what goes into creating a conference veterinarians genuinely don’t want to miss, from hundreds of hours of continuing education and hands-on learning to KNACK Tracks, incredible speakers, live music, networking, and unforgettable events. WVC Nashville is taking everything veterinarians love about WVC and mixing in a serious dose of Music City energy.

But this conversation goes well beyond the conference.

Jessica and Andrea talk candidly about leadership, ambition, family, and what it means to build a career at the highest levels of veterinary medicine. Andrea shares her perspective on leading as a female CEO in an industry where women dominate the profession but remain far less represented in its top executive roles. They also talk about something many working parents understand all too well: how to pursue a big career while still making room for the people who matter most.

And this week, both Andrea and Jessica are bringing their families along for the WVC Nashville experience, proving that sometimes the best business trip can also include a little family time, great music, and a whole lot of Nashville.
