This week on "So You're a Vet, Now What?", host Dr. Moriah McCauley is joined by Dr. Kelly Cairns, a board-certified small animal internal medicine specialist and Vice President of Medical Excellence and Education at Thrive Pet Healthcare. Together, they discuss the journey from being a nervous vet student to a confident veterinarian and leader within a practice. Dr. Cairns shares insights from her years of experience to help new graduates thrive in the field.
Building a bond of trust based on genuine human relationships is crucial for the functioning of any team. Dr. Cairns emphasizes the importance of establishing real, genuine human relationships within a team to foster trust. She highlights that as a leader, it is essential to create an environment where team members feel comfortable and valued. By getting to know each team member on a personal level and building meaningful relationships, new graduates can create a strong foundation for collaboration and teamwork.
Dr. Cairns advises new graduates to engage in self-reflection and create a system for personal development. By consciously evaluating their strengths, areas for growth, and opportunities for development, new graduates can establish a structured approach to building confidence and honing their skills. This systematic approach, similar to medical record documentation, allows new graduates to track their progress and work collaboratively with mentors to achieve their goals.
Embracing a culture of mentorship, seeking to understand, and being transparent are essential components of effective team leadership in veterinary practice. By prioritizing relationships, communication, and mutual respect, new graduates can cultivate a supportive and collaborative environment that enhances patient care, team dynamics, and professional growth.
The transition from student to doctor for new graduates involves navigating challenges related to confidence, skills, and team integration. By actively seeking mentorship, developing a structured approach to personal growth, and fostering positive relationships within the team, new graduates can overcome feelings of unpreparedness and thrive in their roles as veterinarians.
