We know that years ago, women were discouraged from going to veterinary school, especially if they had an interest in mixed animal or equine practice. Today, the majority of veterinary students are women, and many of those women want to practice great medicine while also having a family life. The same is true for many of the men who today are graduating from vet school.
In Episode 5 of The Business of Practice, we talk with Barb Crabbe, DVM, owner of Pacific Crest Sporthorse in Oregon. She lives on the Pacific Crest Sporthorse farm property with her husband, Bob, a board-certified veterinary internist, and two daughters—Katie and Jamie.
