About this episode

Dr. Katherine Quesenberry discusses the importance of sharing mistakes in veterinary careers to foster growth and learning.

Dr. Katherine Quesenberry, chief medical officer at the Animal Medical Center , joins us for our "Mistakes Happen" series this week. In this series, we are talking with brave colleagues about the parts of their career stories no one likes to talk about. We hope that this series empowers you to share more openly about your own mistakes— both for your benefit and for the benefit of those around you— and gives you some ideas on how to approach future mistakes more positively based on the stories you hear.
