Event Details

Gear Up for the Fall Summit

 

Our next Summit will consist of in-person and virtual events. Two events, one price:

 

Virtual Summit – Our virtual events are for every veterinary professional and this event will focus on ways mid-career professionals (or really good planners) can look to pivot their veterinary experience into a new phase of their veterinary career.

 

Networking in Washington DC This event will let us break bread, swap stories, and share strategies with members and other veterinary professionals in the DMV while making connections that will grow your local veterinary support system.

 

Leading up to the summit we follow veterinary professionals working in various facets of veterinary medicine. We’re learning about the plethora of career options in vet med and how these professionals transitioned from practice to an alternative career. We hope to educate mid-career and new professionals alike on the alternatives to private practice and how to prepare for a pivot in the future.

 Career Pivoter

 

Our first speaker is our own Director of Marketing & Communications, Leslie Ferguson, a Certified Fear Free Professional, Registered Veterinary Technician, and President-Elect of the Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine Alumni Board.

 

Here’s an excerpt from our discussion:

You graduated in 2002 from Purdue’s [veterinary] nursing school. You started in practice and then transitioned into industry. Can you tell us how you transitioned, how you learned about that position, and what that position was? 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Leslie: Back in West Lafayette, Indiana, our territory manager from Merial, one of my good friends from undergrad was giving a Lunch and Learn talk about heartworm prevention. She mentioned to me that there was an opportunity to cover for two people going on maternity leave and she thought I’d be great. I hadn’t really thought about moving into industry especially that early in my career because I hadn’t been out that long at all. Even back then, I had a little bit of “I’m ready to do something else” because people can be crazy sometimes and when you get that day in and day out in the practice, you need to take a step back.
