AAVMC's Diversity & Inclusion on Air: Conversations about Diversity, Inclusion & Veterinary Medicine: Recent Episodes
Lisa Greenhill
In fall of 2015, The American Association Veterinary Medical Colleges launched Diversity & Inclusion on Air: Conversations about Diversity, Inclusion & Veterinary Medicine. Although there has been in an increase in the amount of diversity programming hosted by AAVMC, its member institutions and student organizations, there is still a dearth of available programming within the veterinary profession. Diversity & Inclusion on Air will change this by delivering more diversity programming to a wider veterinary audience. The program interviews and presentations will cover a wide range of topics and feature guests from across the profession.
On this episode of AAVMC's On Air, we sit down with Toni Buckley, MA, to discuss how menopause affects the professional experience. As a female-majority profession, veterinary medicine has an important opportunity to better understand and support the menopause experience. Join us, as we discuss what menopause is, how it can affect professionals in the workplace, and why conversations about this life stage are becoming more open. We explore workplace accommodations, inclusive practices, and the role leaders can play in creating environments where veterinary professionals feel supported, respected, and able to thrive throughout their careers.
On this episode of AAVMC's On Air Podcast, we sit down with Tom Fontana and Kate Buckley to discuss the growing prevalence of marijuana use amongst the veterinary student population.

On this episode of AAVMC's on Air, we sit down with guests Amy Addams from the Association of American Medical Colleges and Dr. Melinda Frye from Colorado State University to discuss the concept of merit. Merit is often presented as the sole basis for admissions, but what do we actually mean by that? What defines merit, and who gets to decide what experiences and qualifications signify an applicant as having enough merit? Join us as we hope to dig deep into these topics!
On this episode of AAVMC's On Air we sat down with Sarah Sattelmeyer, an expert on higher education policy, from New America to discuss the new changes to the federal student loan programs, and the impacts they will have on some of the most marginalized students in academic veterinary medicine.

On this episode of AAVMC's On Air, Dr. Greenhill sits down with DVM student Megan Gauthier and Dr. Frank DeCecco to discuss how Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has impacted their experiences throughout their veterinary journeys. Our guests discuss not only their challenges but the ways in which their neurodiversity allows them to approach their practice with a new perspective.
On this episode of AAVMC's On Air, Dr. Greenhill sits down with DVM student Jennifer Gonzalez and Dr. Phil Richmond to discuss how having ADHD has affected their veterinary journey and the ways in which they have figured out how to work with their neurodiversity, instead of against it.
On today's episode we sit down with Kate Toyer (she/her) of Australian Rainbow Vets & Allies, and Mo Miller (they/them) from Pride Veterinary Medical Community, to get a first hand perspective on what their experiences as non-binary and trans individuals in the veterinary medical community has been like.

On this episode of the pod, Drs. Jodi Boyd (CSU), Ryane Englar (UAZ), and William Gilles (private practitioner) stop by to discuss the "Gold Standard." With numerous efforts to expand access to veterinary care globally, there is often an unconscious emphasis on veterinary care offerings at the highest level.

During this chat, guests talk about the language around the Gold Standard and how the gaps can be bridged.
Dr. Jacquelyn Pelzer of VA-MD College of Veterinary Medicine joins Mx. Monae Roberts from UC-Davis' School of Veterinary Medicine to talk about the rise of commercial DNA tests. The ways in which we conceptualize and process newly acquired information about our family ties suggest that racial/ethnic identities are fluid and constantly evolving. The tests are forcing us to reconsider the boxes that are used to define us. And, we're doing it to our pets! A mutt is no longer a mutt with the rise of commercial DNA tests. The guests ponder what does it mean for all of us!
