Welcome to episode #24 of Scrubbed In: The DVM Journey – the podcast where we dive into the wild, rewarding, and sometimes unpredictable world of becoming a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine.
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Virginia Edwards, Assistant Professor at the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine, known for her dedication to teaching surgical skills, supporting community practice, and preparing the next generation of veterinarians for real-world medicine.
But Dr. Edwards is at a turning point. She will be transitioning to a new remote role helping develop Colorado State University’s groundbreaking Master's in Veterinary Clinical Care program which will prepare candidates for a new mid-level practitioner role called the Veterinary Professional Associate (VPA). This initiative aims to expand access to veterinary care, support overburdened clinics, and redefine team structure.
Dr. Edwards joins us to share her teaching journey, explain why she believes in the potential of the VPA model, and where she thinks veterinary medicine is headed in the future.
Whether you’re a veterinary student, practitioner, or someone trying to understand where our field is headed, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
