## Resource

Dr. Jen Quammen, current AVMA president, relief veterinarian, chief veterinary officer of Otto, and co-founder of Veterinarian Coaching, is our guest this week. She shares how embracing a portfolio career allows her to have a 'telescopic' perspective while staying grounded in the realities of veterinary medicine. She offers an inside look at the role of the AVMA president, the power of organized veterinary medicine, and why meaningful leadership begins with listening, building relationships, and saying yes to opportunities to serve. Dr. Quammen's story is a wonderful reminder that there is no single path to making an impact in the profession. Thank you to our podcast partner, NVA General Practice.
