Ep 127: The Making of a Mentor - Dr. Michael Miller's Mentorship Story

Dr. Michael Miller (otherwise known as the Harry Potter Vet) joins Dr. Moriah McCauley in this week’s episode of That Vet Life Podcast. Dr. Michael Miller is a veterinarian and co-owner of a small animal practice in Morris, Illinois. Alongside treating dogs, cats, and traditional small animals, Dr. Miller also holds a special interest in reptiles and exotic pets. This interest led him to start a wildlife rescue at his practice where he treats turtles who have been hit by cars. Michael has volunteered on committees such as the Association of Reptile and Amphibian Veterinarians and is currently serving on the executive board of the Illinois Veterinary Medical Alumni Association. Alongside Michael’s work in practice he also has his own blog called ‘Harry Potter Vet’, which combines his love of veterinary medicine and Harry Potter. Dr. Michael began the blog after being a contributing author for various veterinary websites. He is now using his own platform to help other ‘discover the magic in veterinary medicine’. In this episode Dr. Michael talks about mentorship as part of our podcast series ‘The Making of a Mentor’, he touches on mosaic mentorships, mentorship clauses, and the influence social media has on mentoring.
