This week on the Cone.... Dr. Andy Roark talks with Dr. Tierra Price and Dr. Jeff Tinsley about their journeys to become young leaders in our profession and the experiences they have had making their way as black veterinarians in a very white profession.

As a veterinary student, in 2018, Dr. Price founded BlackDVM Network, a community that connects Black veterinary professionals for mentorship and advancing veterinary medicine. This safe space provides educational and networking opportunities for its members as well as a sense of belonging. Dr. Price’s commitment to highlighting Black veterinary professionals is directly related to her desire for a mentor she could identify with.In her free time, she loves dancing, yoga, reading and soaking up the sun. Most importantly, Dr. Price believes we should be able to show up as our entire selves in our career. She hopes to inspire others with her drive, authenticity and confidence to boldly take on challenges in veterinary medicine. Dr. Jeff Tinsley graduated from Vet school at Tuskegee University in 2017. He completed a Small Animal Rotating Internship in 2018 at the Blue Pearl of San Antonio, TX. He stayed in San Antonio for a year of General Practice, then moved to Louisville, KY for a one year Dermatology Specialty Internship with Animal Dermatology Clinic.

Show notes

We are supported by PSI Vet! The PSIvet Healthcare Initiative hopes to introduce new ways to ensure all Veterinary Professionals get the healthcare coverage they need.

Learn more at https://www.psihealthcareinitiative.com/ Check out the Uncharted Online Conference! UnchartedVet.com - Conferences This week on the Cone.... Dr. Andy Roark and Dr. Anita Link discuss her article on the challenges and unspoken truths about dealing with the COVID pandemic. Article: https://anitalinkthoughtfood.com/2020/04/15/veterinary-work-in-the-time-of-covid-19-unspoken-truths/

Biography For Dr. Anita Link: I am a small animal veterinarian who graduated from the University of Queensland in Australia in 1997. For the first twenty years I worked in small animal practices in both Australia and the UK, but I am currently taking a break from veterinary work while I concentrate on my other two passions: writing and mental health advocacy. I completed a Master of Arts in Writing, Editing, and Publishing between the birth of my two children. My interest in mental health advocacy was borne of my experience of living with Bipolar 1 Disorder, which was triggered by the birth of my first child in 2006. I have written a memoir, which is due to be published this year (Covid 19 permitting) and run Thought Food, a website, which is home to my blog. Most of my posts are opinion pieces relating to living a good life with mental illness.
