Wildlife Conservation and Vets on the Front-Lines with Dog-tor Kristi Crow, DVM

The WoMed

If you’re looking for a great dog-tor, Kristi Crow is it! Kristi joins your co-hosts this week to advocate for vets. Vets, the silent healthcare profession, are on the frontlines of food security, public health, wildlife conservation, general practice, and wellness. Kristi discusses the differences between studying animal medicine and human medicine, her decision to go into general practice, and how to apply to vet school. She offers insight into what public health means in terms of animals and tells your co-hosts about the incredible conservation work she has done and the travel that she loves so much. She also sheds light on the importance of mental health for veterinarians as she discusses the harassment she’s suffered on the front-lines. Vets have taken care of the pets that have taken care of us throughout this pandemic, and we owe them just as much respect as we give other healthcare workers!
