#VetMedDoBetter Movement

Veterinary medicine is supposed to be built on compassion. For animals. For the people who love them. But somewhere along the way, that compassion stopped applying to the people actually trying to build a career in this field.

Discrimination in vet med isn't rare. It's just not talked about. Students get pushed out. Complaints go nowhere. The AVMA sets standards for everything except holding institutions accountable when someone's rights get violated. It's 2026. That should not still be the case.

This field asks you to serve every client who walks through your door. Every race. Every religion. Every disability. Every background. If you can't do that, you shouldn't be in this field. Period. And if an institution is breeding that kind of bias and nobody is stopping it, we have a serious problem.

That is what this movement is about.

My Mission:

 

#VetMedDoBetter exists to hold veterinary medicine accountable. For the discrimination happening inside its institutions. For the gaps in accreditation standards that allow it to continue. And for every person who deserved better and never got it.

This field can do better. It's time to prove it.

My Vision:

 

A veterinary profession where discrimination has no place to hide. Where accreditation actually means something. Where every student can walk into an institution and focus on becoming a great clinician without fighting for their basic rights at the same time.

This field has the potential to be incredible. We are just not there yet.

My Goals:

  • Hold veterinary institutions accountable for discrimination happening inside their walls
  • Push for real civil rights standards in AVMA accreditation, not just suggestions
  • Create a community where students and professionals can share their experiences without fear
  • Amplify the voices of people who were silenced, pushed out, or told to just deal with it
  • Educate the profession on why diversity, equity, and inclusion can't just be a checkbox
  • Support anyone navigating discrimination in veterinary school or the workplace so they know they are not alone
