Welcome to episode #23 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'm joined by Dr. Robyn Hahn, a veterinarian whose career path truly showcases the diversity of what’s possible in vet med. From equine practice to emergency medicine and leadership at Veterinary Emergency Group (VEG ER for Pets), Dr. Hahn has done it all. Now leading her own VEG hospital in Chapel Hill, North Carolina and mentoring new ER doctors through the NERD (New ER Doctor) program, Dr. Hahn shares how her approach to medicine, leadership, and teaching has evolved over the years. We also dive into her passion for exotics, what it’s like to guide new veterinarians in high-stakes ER settings, and the lessons she’s learned along the way about adaptability, confidence, and leading with empathy.
Whether you’re a pre-vet student dreaming of your DVM or a current veterinary student exploring career paths, this episode is packed with inspiration, honesty, and insight into the many ways you can grow within this profession.
