“'Cause that’s how we’ve always done it!"

This is not the best way to run a hospital or even your career. Whether there is a need for change or not, it’s about being curious and leaning into possibilities. This is a huge part of Dr. Lauren Jones’ career story. Because of her belief that there is an opportunity for good change, Dr. Jones knew early on that she was interested in owning a veterinary practice, and she ended up owning two and being a mom to two small children.

In this episode, we talk about some key characteristics of how to set yourself up for success in veterinary medicine including preparing yourself for possible change – change of all shapes and sizes. Change is how we grow as individuals and as a profession, so knowing how to do change well is crucial. Especially when we face a change that is tied to our very identity.

About the guest:
Dr. Laruen Jones graduated from the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine in 2010. After graduation, she worked in private practice with a special interest in canine reproduction and obstetrics. She has owned two hospitals at once and currently owns a hospital in Pennsylvania while living in Scottsdale, Arizona with her husband, children, and cats.
