COS - 156 - Imposter Syndrome And Finding Our Place In Vet Medicine

Dr. Cherie Buisson joins the podcast to discuss the idea that, deep down, none of us think we belong here. We think we're not moving fast enough, that we're not smart enough, and that we're not accomplishing what we should be accomplishing (or what others are accomplishing). Why do we have these thoughts, and more importantly, what do we do about them?

In fact, for many years, she was An Unhappy Vet. Despite working in wonderful practices with compassionate mentors, she always felt she didn’t fit in. She found private practice draining and felt like a failure for her inability to be “a real vet”. She learned the hard way for two decades, and her mission is to provide veterinary professionals with the tools to find their happiness and to help them be comfortable if they take a nontraditional approach. She believes it’s never too late to find your place, but there’s nothing wrong with starting early!
