Veterinary medicine, whether in school or in practice, is tough.  After some time, all of us will become both physically and mentally exhausted.  It's important we all invest in our wellbeing starting on day one of veterinary school.  In this episode, Seth welcomes mental health professional, Jeannine Moga, to the podcast to talk about this incredibly important topic and how we can better take care of our mental and physical wellness during the marathon of veterinary school and beyond.
