Bullying and Shaming in Veterinary Medicine - The VBM Podcast with Dr. Betsy Charles - Veterinary Business Matters

This is a good podcast focusing on some of the pressures of veterinary education. It starts out slow, but gets very interesting.

I must admit that by the end of our chat Dr. Betsy Charles brought up a concept that gave me a profound sense of optimism about our profession.
