My first dog, Ebony, died in our backyard, not because she wasn\u2019t loved but because we didn\u2019t know what we didn\u2019t know. My mom and stepdad were hourly workers, so we decided to wait until the weekend to get her veterinary care. Unfortunately, we didn\u2019t realize how sick she was.<\/p>\n

However, that\u2019s not where my story begins. I\u2019m the oldest of five children. I never met my birth father. My only early interactions with a doctor of any kind were with my pediatrician. I recall telling him I wanted to be a doctor. \u201cWhat kind of doctor do you want to be?\u201d was his response. I had no idea there were different types of doctors.<\/p>\n

Throughout school, I focused on the sciences because I was always a curious child. I gave no thought to veterinary medicine. Instead, I honed in on biochemistry and, while doing prostate cancer research, began working with animal models. I also found two unicorns: the lab animal medicine veterinarian was Black, and his wife was a Black general practice veterinarian. I remember talking about them with my husband, who said, \u201cYou realize you can be a veterinarian, right?\u201d I hadn\u2019t. I looked into what I needed to do to become a veterinarian, only to realize I was teaching many of the prerequisites. While completing my master\u2019s, I took the remaining courses, applied to three veterinary programs and got into all of them.<\/p>\n

Facing Harsh Realities<\/h3>\n

Moving from an ethnically diverse health sciences center to veterinary school was eye-opening. On the first day of orientation, I saw one Black man and one other Black woman in a class of over 120. The lack of diversity did not sway my focus, which was to become a veterinarian.<\/p>\n

One day between classes, a concerned classmate asked what I would do when I encountered a dog that \u201cdidn\u2019t like Black people.\u201d I responded, \u201cThe same thing you would\u00a0do with a dog that didn\u2019t like white people.\u201d I could tell by his gasp and response \u2014 \u201cThere are dogs like that?!\u201d \u2014 that he didn\u2019t think we were the same. He was genuinely concerned for me but couldn\u2019t fathom that a patient wouldn\u2019t be OK with his skin color. This is where I started to pay more attention.<\/p>\n

In thinking about how to improve our representation in veterinary medicine, I say we must start early. While my path to veterinary medicine was nontraditional, I didn\u2019t consider the career earlier because I was never exposed to veterinarians as a child.<\/p>\n

Today, even being considered for a veterinary school interview means your family needs the means and connections to get you to shadow a veterinarian. With less than 2% of the veterinary population being Black, you can be sure that many BIPOC students aren\u2019t aware of veterinarians who look like them.<\/p>\n

That is one reason I wrote my children\u2019s book, \u201cWhat\u2019s a Real Doctor?\u201d Targeting 4- to 6-year-olds, it aims to plant the seed that a Black female with mixed-race children can be a doctor and that a veterinarian is a doctor. Showing brown veterinarians gets the attention of brown children. That\u2019s how diversifying veterinary medicine starts. Simply raising awareness that veterinary medicine is a viable field opens the door to more opportunities.<\/p>\n

The Future of\u00a0Veterinary Medicine<\/h3>\n

Once you have a diverse veterinary team<\/a>, you must diversify how you connect with pet owners. My dog died because my parents were wage workers who had to choose between a lesser paycheck or taking Ebony to the veterinarian and paying the bill. The traditional construct of in-person, hands-on interaction for every ailment prevents families like mine from asking questions and addressing basic care needs.<\/p>\n

Enter telemedicine. Over the last few years, we\u2019ve seen a dramatic rise in virtual care for humans, but the veterinarian space hasn\u2019t fully caught up. When COVID hit, we saw a feverish attempt to accept virtual care in veterinary medicine. Sadly, I know of predatory telehealth platforms that sold software to my colleagues and provided no training or support. We moved backward instead of forward.<\/p>\n

That, as a telehealth veterinarian today, I can\u2019t give an NSAID<\/a> to a pet I know is in pain without first laying hands on it is gut-wrenching. That I can\u2019t protect a pet\u2019s family by putting the animal on flea and tick prevention is ghastly. To say that having a pet is a privilege and that the human-animal bond lengthens the lives of animals and people means we think it\u2019s a privilege to live longer. That\u2019s unthinkable.<\/p>\n

In the United States, an estimated 75 million pets go without veterinary care. These pets deserve care, and their owners deserve to form relationships with veterinary professionals.<\/p>\n

Telehealth Is Inclusive<\/h3>\n

The future of veterinary medicine is a virtual veterinary clinic, one where the simple things are addressed without a pet owner having to go to a clinic. When a pet does go to a clinic, it\u2019s with purpose, support and need. The virtual veterinary clinic experience is seamless for the pet owner, pet and care delivery team. This helps to address the lack of inclusive access and allows the hospital teams to have the right pets in front of them.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve seen a drastic increase in pet ownership without the veterinary industry\u2019s ability to scale accordingly. The key to this is tapping into a diverse candidate pool and modifying a care delivery system that has not had any real change for over 100 years. By modifying the care delivery system, we can care for pets remotely and make space for those truly needing an in-hospital visit.<\/p>\n

Ebony\u2019s death might have been unavoidable, but I\u2019ll never know. I do know she was loved deeply by all five children in our house. Telehealth, teletriage and telemedicine<\/a> allow pet owners to take the serious matter of their animals\u2019 health into their hands, much like I can with my human children. Seventy-five million pets deserve better access to veterinary care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
