It Might Get Weird: Journeys in Veterinary Medicine
Welcome to "It Might Get Weird," the podcast where we dive into the journeys of veterinary professionals.
Your hosts are Dr. Gary Marshall and Sara Rae.
Gary has been a veterinarian for more than 35 years. Sara has been a veterinarian for zero years. That's about to change and that's why we're here.
Our main focus will be to follow Sara on adventures as a Washington State University class of 2028 veterinary student. We’ll be along for the ride as she encounters challenges, and celebrates triumphs during her 4 year commitment to become a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine.
Along the way, we’ll also interview super interesting individuals who have valuable stories to share about their personal and professional journeys.
