In this episode of Vet Life Reimagined, AVMA President Dr. Michael Bailey, shares his powerful career journey from childhood dealing with dyslexia and doubting adults to becoming a national leader in veterinary medicine.

We discuss the future of the profession, the importance of diversity of thought, how the Tuskegee study shaped his perspective, and why sharing the value of the profession is so crucial for our future.

Dr. Bailey also offers honest lessons on burnout, leadership, and what it means to define your own path while helping move the profession forward.

Tune in for a motivating conversation with a leader shaping the next chapter in veterinary medicine.
