Ep 124: Mentoring The Next Generation, With Dr. Tannetje Crocker

Dr. Tannetje Crocker is back again for another episode with Dr. Moriah on That Vet Life Show. For those of you who don’t know Dr. Tannetje, she is a veterinary mentor, speaker, writer, social media sensation, and ER veterinarian at VEG. Crocker began her journey into veterinary medicine in 2009 after graduating from the Texas A&M University College of Veterinary Medicine. After graduating, Dr. Tannetje went on to specialize in equine at an internship in Southern California before working as a solo equine ambulatory practitioner. It wasn’t until 2014 that Crocker transitioned into small animal medicine, which she has stuck with ever since. Being a full-time veterinarian inspired Tannetje to start ‘Dr. Crocker - Pet Vet’, a social media brand that Dr. Tannetje uses to empower and mentor students and young veterinarians. ‘I am inspired by fellow veterinarians and vet students who want to contribute, support, and move this profession in a new direction.’ - Dr. Crocker. During this episode, Dr. Moriah and Dr. Tannetje discuss what is mentorship, how do you find a mentor, and how do you become a valuable mentee?
