About this listen

Welcome to "It Might Get Weird," the podcast where we dive into the journeys of veterinary professionals.

Your hosts are Dr. Gary Marshall and Sara Rae.
Gary has been a veterinarian for more than 35 years. Sara has been a veterinarian for zero years. That's about to change and that's why we're here.

Our main focus will be to follow Sara on adventures as a Washington State University class of 2028 veterinary student. We’ll be along for the ride as she encounters challenges, and celebrates triumphs during her 4 year commitment to become a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine.

Along the way, we’ll also interview super interesting individuals who have valuable stories to share about their personal and professional journeys.

    This episode wraps up Season 1 of It Might Get Weird the Podcast. Thank you so much for listening. Sara and Gary have had fun. It's been a pretty weird year for both of them. This episode reviews a bit of Gary's thought on the AAVMC Catalyze / Iverson Bell Conference he recently attended in Washington DC. Most of the episode delves into Sara's feelings with Finals week upon her as well as reflecting on the highs and lows of her life as she wraps up year 1 out of 4 of her Vet School career.

    Enjoy your summer. Gary and Sara plan to. We're planning on great content starting back up in August for Season 2. Please come back.

  • S1 : E45 - The "So You Wanna Be A Zoo Vet" Episode

    Unfortunately Sara was unavailable for recording this week. Fortunately, Gary was able to secure an amazing guest while he was at the AAVMC Catalyze Conference in Washington DC. This week he interviews Dr. Laci Taylor a current Zoo Medicine Resident at The Smithsonian's National Zoo. Gary wanted so much to learn about all the exciting things that Dr. Taylor is doing during her Residency, but that will have to come another day. Before that can happen, we need to learn how she got into this role. Dr. Taylor shares some great tips to plan ahead for post vet school options like hers, and does a great job at providing some motivating for when the odds seem slim. Thanks for listening.

  • S1 : E44 - The talking about bear research and Gary's pre-vet mentor episode

    If you only have time to listen to one recent episode, this would be a good choice. Sara and Gary got together in person to record this while Gary visited WSU's College of Veterinary Medicine in his role as AVMA Vice President, and to deliver a presentation about one of his most impactful mentors, Dr. Leo K. Bustad, to the Humane Animal Bond Club. It was a great opportunity for Sara and Gary to catch up. Sara shares her recent experience at the WSU Bear Center and educates Gary on a bit of very interesting bear biology. Thanks for listening. Enjoy.
