Do we need to reimagine veterinary medicine?

The career path of Vet Life Reimagined guest, Emily McCobb, DVM, MS, DACVAA is all about reimagining; it's about animal welfare, openness, and compassion; about exploring new models of accessible care for pets and of education for veterinary students that creates competent, confident, and happy veterinarians.

Dr. Emily is a board-certified veterinary anesthesiologist whose passion for animal welfare led her to support shelter medicine in academic settings and later inherited student-led community initiatives, opening her up to a whole new career path. Dr. Emily worked at Tufts for many years, but in August 2024, she accepted a position at UC Davis as the inaugural PetSmart Charities Endowed Chair of Accessible Veterinary Care, where she brings her expertise to foster innovation of new models of accessible veterinary care across the US.
