Our guests this week are Erin Frey, DVM, MPH, DACVPM, and Jennifer Granick, DVM, MS, PhD, Diplomate ACVIM (SAIM).
We all got into veterinary medicine to make a difference – for one animal at a time in most cases – and sometimes it can be hard to remember that the little things we do and recommend can make a world-changing difference. Erin Frey, DVM, MPH, DACVPM, chair of the task force behind the 2022 AAFP/AAHA Antimicrobial Stewardship Guidelines, and Jennifer Granick, DVM, MS, PhD, Diplomate ACVIM (SAIM), task force member, are here to remind us of the effect small actions can make in the face of a very, very big problem.
Whether it’s never skipping that ear cytology even if you’re running late, always having the conversation about topicals even when you’re not sure the client will say yes, or being the one to run the diagnostics even when they’re used to having refills approved sight unseen, Drs. Granick and Frey are quick to point out that every little bit helps – and when we know better, we can do better.
