Practical Expectations for New Equine Veterinary Graduates

AAEP Practice Life Podcast cohosts Drs. Jessica Dunbar and Travis Boston host a practical roundtable on what new equine graduates actually learn in school, where the real gaps show up, and how mentors can set better expectations. Guests Drs. Anna Bracken, Jared Hardaway, and Kylie Yancey compare academia, private practice, internship training, and the realities of transitioning into practice. The conversation is especially useful for anyone hiring, mentoring, or nearing graduation. It focuses on hands-on skills, troubleshooting, clinical reasoning, and the difference between structured training and real-world responsibility.   Sponsored by: AAEP Practice Life is sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim.
