The transition from vet school to that first year in practice - Adam Masri and Robyn Geddes

This episode of the SRUC podcast is all about transition. Adam Masri, Veterinary Lecturer at SRUC’s School of Veterinary Medicine talks to Veterinary Surgeon Robyn Geddes - a 2023 graduate from the University of Glasgow - about the transition from vet school to that first year in practice.In the podcast Robyn talks about her experience at vet school, what she misses about it, what criteria she thinks are important to consider when looking for that first job in practice, the RCVS’s Vet graduate development program (VetGDP) and much more. It’s a really great chat for anyone who has an interestin studying to be a vet or who is currently studying to be a vet. You’ll hear Robyn’s point of view on lots of the challenges and learnings that are to be had as a vet student. We are aiming to welcome our very first students to SRUC’s new school of veterinary medicine this September here in Aberdeen. It’s a unique model - As only the third Veterinary School in Scotland and the first in over 150 years, the SRUC School of Veterinary Medicine will prepare students for work in the increasingly important rural mixed practice, agricultural and food sectors.Why are we different? The SRUC School of Veterinary Medicine will use innovative teaching methods and curriculum design to ensure that students are fully prepared to work in the variety of high demand sectors.We offer new pathway programmes aimed at those from rural backgrounds who are familiar with the agricultural sector but may not have - or been able to get - the required scientific foundations. Our pathways to study at the vet schoolSRUC School of Veterinary Medicine
