  • No One Teaches Vet Students This: Collaborative Communication, How to Create Exam Routines & How to Build Client Trust
    Dec 12 2025

    Vet school teaches you the medicine — but it doesn’t always teach you how to communicate clearly with pet owners, build a consistent exam routine, or collaborate on treatment plans that actually work.

    In this episode of More Than A Dogtor, Dr. Christien Bolden breaks down his real-world approach to client communication, physical exam structure, and treatment plan discussions — the same framework he uses to reduce mistakes, build trust, and practice confident medicine.

    This episode is especially for vet students and new graduate veterinarians who feel overwhelmed in the exam room or unsure how to explain diagnostics, recommendations, or next steps to pet parents.


    In this episode, we discuss:

    • How to talk to pet owners with clarity and confidence

    • Building a reliable physical exam routine/checklist

    • Why structure reduces mistakes and mental overload

    • How to create collaborative treatment plans

    • Common missteps new veterinarians make — and how to avoid them

    • Why communication matters more than “knowing everything”


    If you’re looking to improve client trust, exam-room flow, and confidence early in your veterinary career, this episode will give you practical tools you can use immediately.


    Subscribe to More Than A Dogtor for real conversations, mentorship, and guidance for vet students and new grads navigating clinical practice with confidence.

  • Faith, Family and Vet Med: Why There’s Room for Faith in a Field Where It’s Often Overlooked
    Nov 28 2025

    Send us a txt to let us know what you think and what you’d like to see from us!

    In this powerful episode of More Than A Dogtor, Dr. Christien Bolden sits down with Dr. Krista Miller, a veterinarian, entrepreneur, and woman of unwavering faith who leads PetSmart Veterinary Services in Houma, Louisiana.

    In an industry grounded in science, Dr. Miller shares how she boldly integrates her Christian faith into her work as a clinician, leader, and business owner. She reflects on the moments when God carried her through vet school, the challenges of opening her own clinic, and the seasons of doubt and growth that shaped her into the doctor she is today.

    Whether you’re a vet student, new grad, or seasoned professional, this conversation reminds us that your calling is bigger than a career — and there’s room for God in your journey, even in spaces where it’s often overlooked.

    Perfect for anyone seeking purpose, mentorship, and spiritual encouragement in the veterinary profession.
