Ready, Vet, Go

I highly recommend Dr. Dani Rabwin as a speaker. Dr. Rabwin has an extraordinary ability to captivate any audience with her intelligence, talent, and genuine kindness. She presented to both our mentorship certification group and recent grad associates during our wellness series, leaving attendees fully engaged and inspired. Her storytelling style draws you in, making even complex concepts easy to follow. Dr. Rabwin creates an environment where people feel both safe and brave, fostering openness and connection. During her talk with our mentors, participants were eager to share personal experiences, resulting in an outpouring of support and love. When presenting to our new grad group, her shared decision-making strategies were not only insightful but immediately actionable, offering tools attendees could use right away. Her seamless delivery, combined with her ability to connect with others on a deep level, made a lasting impact, and I can’t recommend her highly enough for any speaking engagement.

Ready, Vet, Go equips new grads with the tools needed for success. I’ve participated in various initiatives aimed at recent graduates, and without a doubt, Ready Vet Go stands out as the sole program that not only instills a sense of empowerment in new graduates but also equips them with the necessary tools for success in their inaugural year and beyond. Their modules are informative, engaging, and tailored to address the real-world challenges veterinarians encounter daily.

This program has given me so many great insights and tips that I have been working into my professional life – successfully!

I feel that it was very helpful to hear about the experiences of other veterinarians in order to support me and help me come up with new ideas for practice.

I feel that the support from other vets was very useful and helps us to feel less alone.

Having a group of colleagues that understands your daily struggles of being a new veterinarian is extremely supportive and helped be to not feel so alone in my new career

The small pack meetings were a great way to feel less alone with the ‘newbie’ struggles and to start working together on solutions to our own personal problems at work

As a new grad, this program was fun and enlightening! I got to meet vets from all walks of life and see that even after 10+ years in this profession, there is so much to learn and that our “why” is one of the most important things that we can hold on to. The guest speakers in this series are also truly so amazing and have wonderful wisdom to impart and use in our day-to-day operations. This program was also pretty light, so it wasn’t a huge time commitment which is nice given everyone’s busy schedules. The Ready, Vet, Go community page is also a great space for people to connect and to watch recorded meetings on very relevant topics. Awesome program!

I really enjoyed having pack meetings. I was able to connect with other early career vets and felt that they could understand my struggles. The modules were great, especially the finance and practice culture. I learned a lot and feel more confident in my growing career.

I loved how applicable the modules were, the downloadable templates, the videos that Dani put together, and how the program was a useful use of time!!

I greatly appreciated the module on burn out since this is legitimately a huge issue in our profession. It was nice to learn about more ways to cope, time manage, and talk to other vets about the real struggles and how we each manage our work/life balance.

This was an excellent program and I am really grateful for the relationships and connections I made through it 🙂

Working with my peer group was a HUGE help to my self-confidence and helped to support me through a very difficult transition between clinics. They were instrumental to helping me feel that, yes, I WAS a good Dr, and to have the courage to keep advocating for myself in a bad work situation

I think this program was overall really helpful and had a lot of good information that I can put into use. 

Ready, Vet, Go is a welcoming and informative course that provides lots of great advice/tips for early career veterinarians! Dr. Jeff Klemens is a wonderful mentor who can handle a wide variety of topics with ease and I felt very comfortable asking Jeff questions and sharing personal stories during our meetings. Thank you for an overall very helpful and informative course!

I went straight from school into a larger small animal practice. I was fortunate enough to have Dr. Rabwin as my mentor. Between the caseload, the new time schedule, client questions, and communication, I was overwhelmed. Dr. Rabwin coached me through the process […] Vet school does a great job and getting you to understand the big things, [but] there was still a lot to learn. Dr. Rabwin was that help I needed! […] She helped bolster my confidence. I am a better doctor today because of her.

Dani does a fabulous job of breaking down different aspects of veterinary professional challenges to keep them manageable for new grads. She provides practical, straightforward tips to make things like client communication, time management, and staff interactions easier and less intimidating. I think there’s lots of great information in here that any new grad could use.

Dr. Dani is so much fun to work with. She brings thought-provoking questions and practical, real-world experience to our monthly rounds that help break down difficult cases into their basic components. Through our sessions, I have grown so much as a doctor and gained confidence in my ability to work up cases. Her support has really helped me grow as a medical professional.

I really appreciated the email follow-ups as it helped summarize the meetings and what we talked about working on for the following month. I also appreciated that the videos and modules were succinct and not too intense, so they didn’t feel like a big extra load on top of work, etc. Overall, I took a lot away from RVG and appreciate all the time and effort you put into helping especially new grads into assimilating into the vet world.

I wish I had this information and support when I got out of school.

I really enjoyed the past months going through the process of this course.

I feel so lucky to have Dr. Rabwin as a friend and mentor. The confidence she gave me was invaluable.

Dr. Rabwin is an amazing support. She is encouraging, easy to talk to, and offers practical guidance from her years of general practice experience.

After being an equine practitioner for 11 years, I transitioned into small animal practice. I felt overwhelmed and scared at all the things I didn’t know. Dr. Rabwin was always there for me […] My learning and confidence grew exponentially after starting our rounds group, which was lead and orchestrated by Dr. Rabwin […]

I greatly appreciated this program and everything that was put into it! I really want to stay in touch with the community page and check out the other saved meeting topics since there are a lot of good topics covered. Thank you for putting together this program and for bringing such a diverse group together so that we can learn to love our profession more and see the why in why we do what we do!

Dr. Rabwin has worked for me for over 8 years. She has been in charge of helping to train all new veterinary hires. She has a very cheerful attitude and has helped me with the transition from new grad to competent associates. Dani not only helps with the medical aspects of the cases but perhaps, more importantly, the communication with the client and the staff. She diligently goes over the estimates to be sure charges are not missed and I have watched the average client charge go up the more she works with the associate. She has endless patience and is always “the go-to vet” when new hires have any questions. Because the other associates often find a new grad’s needs are time-consuming, having a “point mentor” keeps everyone happy and brings the new associate up to speed quickly.

I definitely think this is a benefit to new grads.

This program helped me fine tune my communication skills and hear other clinicians’ experiences. I really appreciate the space this provided to talk. I definitely think this is a benefit to new grads.

In fact, with Dr. Rabwin’s mentorship, our new graduate associate surpassed our expectations for production within the first year.

Dr. Rabwin’s mentorship of our new grad associate has been invaluable for our practice. From an administrative perspective, having Dr. Rabwin mentor our new grad allowed our new employee to be mentored, have her questions answered, and get up to speed quickly. In fact, with Dr. Rabwin’s mentorship, our new graduate associate surpassed our expectations for production within the first year. Dr. Rabwin is a wonderful communicator and veterinarian. She brings positive energy to the practice and this helps not only our new graduate associates, as they face the day-to-day learning curve of private practice, but it flows through the entire staff. I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Rabwin and Ready, Vet, Go.
