Episode #299 - Exciting Developments in Drug Delivery with Lifescient - Kamelesh Rao and Renee Sera

On this episode of the pod, Drs. Jodi Boyd (CSU), Ryane Englar (UAZ), and William Gilles (private practitioner) stop by to discuss the "Gold Standard." With numerous efforts to expand access to veterinary care globally, there is often an unconscious emphasis on veterinary care offerings at the highest level. This is seen as a major barrier to getting underserved communities in the door--fear of judgment and embarrassment that such care is beyond their reach. During this chat, guests talk about the language around the Gold Standard and how the gaps can be bridged.

135: What Is The Gold Standard?

Happy 300th episode! &nbsp;Most veterinarians have perfectionist tendencies and our profession encourages it because we need to adhere to high standards. &nbsp;Perfectionism is sometimes healthy because it can lead to motivation and drive, but taken to extremes will lead to many unhealthy results. &nbsp; Perfectionism can be a symptom of anxiety, and anxiety can lead to more perfectionism. &nbsp;This drive towards perfection can lead to procrastination and lack of motivation. &nbsp;Internal pressures such as the desire to avoid failure, criticism, or judgement will turn toxic if we don't work to change those internal pressures. &nbsp;Perfectionism may lead to depression and even suicide if we do not learn to understand why we feel the need to be perfect. &nbsp;Allowing for imperfection, even in small ways, will open up possibilties and make life more fulfilling. Thanks for listening to episode 300! Learn more about Julie at  &nbsp; &nbsp;

Episode #300 - Let's Not Expect Perfection!

Our goal is to inform you more about veterinary medicine and how it relates to the world and you.  We hope this will guide you to improve your life with how you interact with animals and the world we live in.
