“Veterinary medicine, as we talked about before, is very underrepresented, and this is where I can potentially channel this energy into making that change within this profession.”

Having conversations about race in veterinary medicine can be uncomfortable and far from easy. However, to Dr. Niccole Bruno of Companion Animal Hospital, it’s vital in order to create change in the profession. In this episode, Dr. Bruno shares the barriers people of color face when attempting to enter veterinary school, why representation in the profession matters and how allies are crucial in creating change.
