  • Equine Vet Shortage, Internships, and Field Mentorship with Dr. Chelsea Fishenfeld | Ready Vet Go
    Jan 17 2026

    In this engaging and eye-opening episode of ReadyVetGo, Dr. Dani Rabwin sits down with Dr. Chelsea Fishenfeld—an ambulatory equine veterinarian in California—to talk mentorship, emergency medicine in the field, and what it really takes to survive (and thrive) in modern equine practice.

    Chelsea shares what drew her to horses at age four, why she chose an intensive mentorship/internship after graduating from WesternU (Class of 2022), and how equine medicine is facing a sustainability crossroads—especially when vets are expected to do dentistry all day and colics all night.

    This conversation is packed with real-world perspective on internships, teamwork across large groups, building confidence in high-stakes scenarios, and the communication skills that can make or break client trust.

    📌 What You’ll Learn:

    • Why many equine vets benefit from doing an internship (especially for emergencies)
    • What’s broken in the equine emergency model—and what could fix it
    • How mentorship and collaboration keep practitioners (and horses) safer
    • How to teach clients in real time so they understand the value of care
    • A “mistake/complication” story that highlights why communication is everything
    • How to coach students out of freeze mode and into confidence
    • What grit really means in equine medicine (and why attrition is high)

  • ReadyVetGo: New Grad Vet + Ultra Marathon Runner — Mentorship & Confidence with Dr. Jake Rastas | Ready Vet Go
    Jan 3 2026

    In this energizing and real episode of ReadyVetGo, Dr. Dani Rabwin sits down with Dr. Jake Rastas—a new grad veterinarian, rotating intern at the University of Georgia, and ultra marathon runner—for a conversation about mentorship, confidence, and mental resilience in early-career veterinary medicine.

    From Division I football to vet school to internship life, Jake shares how mentors shaped his path, how to stay competitive without becoming toxic, and why you don’t need confidence before doing something hard—confidence often comes after you do it. If you’re a vet student, new grad, or intern trying to build your skills while managing pressure, this one will hit home.

    📌 What You’ll Learn:

    • Mentorship that actually changes your career (and the “pay it forward” culture of vet med)
    • How to build confidence after the hard thing—not before
    • Ultra marathon mindset: “This is what hard feels like”
    • Healthy competition without rooting for others to fail
    • Time management during internship + intense training schedules
    • Learning procedures for the first time: readiness, reality, and resources

    🎬 Timestamps:

    00:00 – Intro: Dani + Jake (new grad, UGA rotating intern, ultra runner)

    01:30 – Jake’s path: D1 football → vet school → internship

    04:10 – Mentors who changed everything (and why “pay it forward” matters)

    07:05 – Competitive drive without becoming toxic

    10:20 – “This is what hard feels like”: ultra running as mental training

    13:40 – Confidence isn’t the prerequisite—action is

    16:05 – Internship time management + training while exhausted

    19:10 – First-time procedures: resources, prep, and staying safe

    22:30 – Handling pressure, feedback, and the learning curve

    25:40 – What Jake wants new grads to hear right now

    👇 QUESTION FOR YOU: What’s one hard thing you’re leaning into right now in vet school, internship, or practice?

  • ReadyVetGo S1E19: Vet Student Networking, Mentorship & Distributive Clinical Rotations with Noah Gershoni | Ready Vet Go
    Dec 20 2025

    In this inspiring and practical episode of ReadyVetGo, Dr. Dani Rabwin sits down with Noah Gershoni (he/him), a final-year veterinary student at the University of Arizona, to talk mentorship, networking with authenticity, and how to get the most out of clinical rotations—especially in a distributive model program.

    Noah shares his non-traditional path to vet school (community college prereqs, years working in ER), how meaningful connections opened doors like Venom Week, and why collaboration beats competition in veterinary medicine. They also dig into the realities of rotating through different clinics and states, the hidden challenge of housing logistics, and how to learn from every mentor and team—without coming off combative.

    📌 What You’ll Learn:

    • How to network without being transactional (and actually maintain connections)
    • Community college to vet school: confidence, resilience, and belonging
    • Why UA’s culture (no grades + group-based learning) builds collaboration
    • Distributive clinical year: real-world medicine, pros/cons, and logistics
    • Why general practice can do more than people think (and why it matters for access)
    • Mentorship on short rotations: how to ask questions well and respect time
    • Two must-use rotation tips: “keep the technicians happy” + find value in everything

    🎬 Timestamps:

    00:00 – Intro + pronouns: Noah (he/him) + Dani (she/her)

    01:44 – How they met: conference lunch line + service dog networking

    03:00 – ReadyVetGo networking night: “bring as many as you can” (20 students show up)

    04:39 – Networking that isn’t transactional: curiosity, real connection, follow-through

    06:35 – Non-traditional path: community college prereqs (no “traditional college” route)

    09:33 – Working in ER for 5 years: learning fast, growing responsibility

    10:42 – Falling for surgery: mixed animal + OR confidence

    11:35 – Why University of Arizona: Venom Week + meeting faculty through networking

    13:41 – Personal statement: vulnerability, first-gen story, resilience, family pride

    16:43 – UA culture: no GPAs/grades + group-based learning = collaboration over competition

    21:29 – Clinical year (distributive model): rotating clinics/states + real-world medicine

    22:18 – The tough part: housing/logistics + advocating for classmates

    25:23 – General practice “can do it”: accessibility, internal medicine in GP, specialization trend

    28:15 – Mentorship nuance: asking questions vs respecting time (the “dance”)

    30:07 – Evidence-based vs “old school”: how to ask “why” without being combative

    32:53 – Tip #1: keep technicians happy (donuts + teach-back + teamwork)

    34:23 – Tip #2: find value in everything (even “how not to do it”) + don’t take it personally

    👇 QUESTION FOR YOU: What’s one mentoring tip you wish you learned earlier in vet school or practice?
