Dr. Jessica Vogelsang, Chief Medical Officer at the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), joins us to discuss the evolving role of veterinarians in modern veterinary practices. Dr. Vogelsang introduces the concept of "decentering" the veterinarian to create a more team-based approach that places the patient at the heart of care, similar to patient-centered models in human medicine. She explains how this shift can improve efficiency and client satisfaction by empowering veterinary technicians and support staff to handle many tasks traditionally managed by DVMs. Together, Dr. Andy Roark and Dr. Vogelsang explore the barriers to this model, including liability concerns and the importance of training and trust in a collaborative practice. This thought-provoking conversation is a must-listen for anyone interested in the future of veterinary medicine and the evolving dynamics within the field.
