Joshua Rosen, DVM: Veterinary Voices

Listen up! Welcome to Veterinary Voices, a monthly feature dedicated to spotlighting inspiring veterinary professionals and thought leaders who are speaking up and making waves.  Join us as we amplify their stories, share their insights, and celebrate the diverse voices shaping the future of veterinary medicine.  No matter your role in veterinary medicine, there’s something valuable to discover in the journeys of these influential figures.

As a relief veterinarian, Joshua Rosen, DVM interacts with pet parents and veterinary teams in a variety of different settings. He has seen the importance of bridging gaps between clients and veterinary professionals so that everyone benefits.  He wants to help veterinary teams to find ways to proactively meet clients where they are and break down barriers to care, and he also wants to help veterinary teams support their own wellbeing and camaraderie as they navigate the challenges of our profession.

This month for Veterinary Voices, we talked to Rosen about how communication and empathy, when done right, can have a positive impact on patient outcomes and the happiness and wellbeing of veterinary teams. He also shared what makes him love veterinary medicine: a combination of science, problem-solving, and compassion. “It’s rewarding to see how much trust and connection we can build,” he said, “by doing what’s best for the entire family–both pets and humans.”
