I'm always proud when our graduates take flight, but also worried knowing how harsh the veterinary profession can be.

What do professional socialization in VetEd and grant writing have in common? We can both use a challenge-focused professional identity.

Thoughts in my blog post including references to the most excellent papers by Armitage-Chan, by Wiebke Jansen at FVE, and by Emma Scholz .
