“And then just be prepared to be adventurous, compassionate, and enthusiastic every day because the craziness will come your way and if you meet it with positivity you will really, really enjoy this type of career.”

Our guest today is Dr. Traci Gilbert. Dr. Gilbert is a graduate from the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine. After graduation she was in small animal private practice until she learned of an opening for a veterinarian at a local animal shelter. She jumped at the opportunity and has built and incredible career from there. She shares a lot of great insights about working in shelter medicine and what her day ‘typically’ looks like and also how to keep a positive perspective on things. We are so excited to share this journey with you.
