How to Cultivate a Career That Supports Your Passions, with Dr Imogen Johns
May 01, 2023 Episode 32
Platinum CPD and Emma McConnell

#032 - For many of us, our career path has ended up being somewhat different to what we initially envisioned when we first started our training programs. Yet more often than not, our journeys exceed all expectations. Which is precisely the case for today's guest, my mentor and dear friend, Dr Imogen Johns.

Unlike many veterinary professionals, Imogen didn't dream about being a vet from a young age. However as soon as she started her veterinary degree, she knew she was exactly where she was meant to be. As a keen rider, Imogen initially wanted to keep her equine hobby and veterinary career separate, and was contemplating a future in small animal medicine. But, as fate would have it, equine medicine was where she would end up. And thank goodness for that; because as an ACVIM Diplomate, Imogen has contributed significantly to the field of equine medicine, not only through her research, but also the training of veterinary students, interns and residents.

During the episode, Imogen shares with us the details of her successful career, that has taken her around the world. We chat about residency training, transitioning from academia to private practice,  the effectiveness of career coaching, and how working part-time really provides the opportunity to pursue other non-veterinary passions.
