How did Dr. Elizabeth Scott start her journey in veterinary medicine?

Dr. Elizabeth Scott 0:00
I think the best thing that everyone's going to learn, whether you're a veterinarian or whatever, is that you have to do self-care. You have to focus on the things in your life that are going to help you be more successful, like bringing in the AI that I've done and all of those things that are going to make you want to go to do what you've decided to do every day, you know, have a great positive environment. And then.

How's AI going to change the medical, especially in the vet side?
Dr. Elizabeth Scott 0:43
I have worked with so many like early veterinarians that they just because they don't know everything, they lose that confidence. Then they don't want to do it. It's too scary. But having that double check, really helps to gain that confidence. And obviously the pets then benefit from that the most because instead of maybe having to do a trial of treatments or a trial of this test and that test, we can be more focused and save the pet parents money as well as get the pets healthier faster.

Welcome back to another episode of Legacy Makers. Joining me today is Ellie and we share a common passion, which is animals. And she's got this really cool practice, you know, vet practice, but it's very different culturally how she leads her team and creates an amazing experience, obviously for the team and clients. But fascinating too is leading the technology innovation side of the practice, some advanced machinery and technology that's may be able to help even more lives, you know, pets' lives with AI and really fascinated to see how AI is going to change this whole medical space. So welcome to the show.
Dr. Elizabeth Scott 2:33
Thank you so much, Rudy.
Rudy Mawer 2:35
So let's start with a bit about you and the practice. How long have you had it? What got you into it all? Tell us about it.

What role does AI play in enhancing veterinary diagnostics?

Dr. Elizabeth Scott 2:42
Yeah. So after I graduated from vet school, I practiced for a couple of years and I was like, hey, you know, I think I can do this on my own, but I wasn't quite ready. So I was a relief vet, filled in for a few years, learned lots of things about lots of practices. And then I took all the good stuff and I opened my own practice about 20 years ago. So 2004. Yeah.
Rudy Mawer 3:03
Wow. And a funny story about me, I was going to become either a sports scientist or a vet. They were my two decisions that I was going to go to university and I ended up doing sports science because I didn't need the higher science grade. It was harder to become a vet. But I grew up with animals. You know, my mom was a dog breeder and stuff. So I always loved the vet side. But I do know, you know, it's... As a vet, it can be hard, right? Like doctors too and nurses, hard hours. And that's one thing culturally you talked about, like in terms of how you've shifted that in your practice. You want to start there?
Dr. Elizabeth Scott 3:40
Yeah, yeah. So when I first graduated, it was unheard of to not work every weekend. And then you were on call after hours. And that's just what we did. It was expected. You had to pay your dues and all of that. And I think that we're in a great place now where over the last probably 10, 15 years, we've decided we don't have to be these superheroes. We can actually be real people. That doesn't mean we don't care. And then the creation of Emergency After Hours Hospital has taken a lot of the burden off of us.
