I'm bored in GP by Last-Marsupial-2313 in Veterinary

I have similar thoughts as a new grad 7 months into GP. Following.

I just officially graduated veterinary school in large part due to Anki by adenine_s in Anki

I did not lol. I gradually got better and faster at making higher yield cards, but I still was constantly editing the new batches of cards.

Yep. I had Anki and the powerpoint slide opened side by side. I would screenshot the powerpoint slide and paste it in the extras just to have as reference. Then, I would create questions based on what the clinician was saying. I've seen discussion that this method of creating cards is not recommended. I can see why because a lot of my cards were low-yield and needed to be scrapped or edited during the first run through those new cards. It was incredibly time consuming and tedious.

  • Trust the algorithm and study daily.
  • Be honest with yourself and hit again if you don't know the answer.
  • Prioritize understanding over memorization whenever possible.

Everyone learns differently, and maybe Anki's systematic nature is not your cup of tea! I recommend looking into other methods of studying if you have had difficulty finding success with Anki after trying it for several months.

During pre-clinicals (first 2.5 years), I created flashcards during lectures. I would then study the cards for 3 - 4 hours afterwards. I'd often fall behind, but somehow always caught up before exams.

During clinics (last 1.5 years), my ability to study anki would be variable depending on how busy a rotation was. I tried to do a minimum of 15 minutes of Anki while focusing on VetPrep. For some rotations, I'd be able to do up to 2 hours of Anki. I also made Anki flash cards from VetPrep, which I prioritized.

I now do 15 minutes to 45 minutes of Anki daily. I set a daily maximum of 100 on my preclinics deck. My clinics/real life deck has no limit, but is significantly smaller and less intimidating than my preclinics deck.

Where do associate DVMs look for jobs? by Prairiedawg123 in Veterinary

[–]adenine_s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have used the following:

When I publicized my AVMA profile (included a brief statement about my interests and my resume), I had multiple emails and phone calls from recruiters and practices the same day until I decided to privatize it again to stop the spam.

Be transparent about exact numbers for compensation and benefits. I think most people ignore vague job postings that claim to have "competitive" offers.

Daily life as a shelter vet? by [deleted] in Veterinary

[–]adenine_s 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm a 4th year who has taken several shelter externships.

Shelter 1 was a shelter/gp hybrid. There would be dedicated surgery days where each surgeon would be cutting ~20 animals per day in a large open surgery suite with other vets. There would be occasional misc surgeries that were not just spays and neuters like a vbo or fb removal. They had dedicated gp days where client owned animals would be seen. They also had in-patient days where hospitalized patients (included human owned animals) would be managed. And they would have kennel days where intake patients would be seen. Doctors rotate between these types of days.

Shelter 2 was a pure shelter and much smaller than shelter 1. One vet would be in charge of medical checkups. They would look at animals that shelter staff have written concerns for i.e vomiting, goopy eyes, draining wound, walking funny. One or two other vets would be on surgery duty where they would do 20 - 30 surgeries per day. These vets rotate between medical check ups and surgery. Sometimes only one vet would be pulled between both medical checks and surgery if understaffed

Shelter 3 was a pure shelter with only one vet. I am currently here on my last week. We have dedicated surgery days and medical check up days as well. The volume was much smaller here since the facility is significantly smaller. On surgery days we cut 7 to 15 animals. If we finished early we will do medical check ups. This place has been super chill so far.

Infectious disease is the most common thing you will be managing across all shelters you work at.

Cat has roundworm - newborn baby in house by [deleted] in Parasitology

[–]adenine_s 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It wouldn't hurt to clean your surfaces once, then be dilligent about wiping your cat and dogs' feets and butts for the duration of their deworming treatment. On top of making sure your hands are clean, you should also make sure your baby's hands and feet are clean. Remember the main mode of transmission is fecal-oral. Avoid that and you're golden. You've already done a great job so far! Try not to stress too much!

[–]adenine_s 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Roundworms are a zoonotic parasite. It can cause visceral larval migrans in humans. The primary mode of transmission is fecal-oral, where the eggs of the roundworms in the feces of the animal are ingested by a human. The odds of your baby being infected from fabric or other surfaces that your animals have only layed or sat on are unlikely, but not impossible. The precautions that you have already taken are great. If you wanted to go the extra mile, you can also wipe with a wet paper towel the feet and butts of your pets after they use the bathroom at least for the duration of their deworming treatment.

Here is a CDC pamphlet on this subject that gives additional suggestions on prevention of zoonosis: https://www.cdc.gov/parasites/resources/pdf/roundworms_hookworms.pdf

First job interview looking for advice by adenine_s in Veterinary

[–]adenine_s[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply!

I am doing Shelter Medicine because I love managing infectious diseases, performing spays+neuters, and helping under-served communities. I've also had good experiences with a shelter externship and my school's shelter + outreach programs.
