Episode 44: Can You Land a Jumbo Jet?

In the latest discussion on "Unfiltered Vet Discussions," Kelly Baltzell, Phil Richmond, Peter Weinstein, Stacee Santi, Jenni George, and David McCormick explored gender disparities in aviation and veterinary fields. They cited a YouGov study where 33% of Americans, including 46% of men and 20% of women, believe they could land a 747 without training. In veterinary practices, women own 40% of clinics, yet salary disparities persist, despite women comprising 80% of veterinary school students. The panel also discussed generational shifts, the impact of parenting on self-esteem, and the importance of breaking gender stereotypes. Emphasizing the need for intellectual humility and self-compassion, they highlighted the ongoing challenge of closing gender gaps in both industries.
