More Voices, Less Turf War in Vet Med

Veterinary medicine is full of passionate people, but sometimes that passion turns into camps, loyalty tests, and turf wars. In this episode of the Veterinary Viewfinder, Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, MPA, RVT, discuss why veterinary professionals can feel pressured to support only one organization, cause, or point of view, and why that mindset may be holding the profession back. From veterinarians and credentialed veterinary technicians to students, practice managers, and clinic leaders, this conversation explores how organized veterinary medicine can be stronger when more voices are welcomed at the table. Ernie and Beckie talk about scarcity thinking, professional identity, advocacy, and why new organizations do not have to be seen as threats to existing ones. They also highlight the launch and kickoff weekend for AACVT, including ways veterinary technicians and team members can get involved, connect, and support the profession.
