“The rules of improvisation apply beautifully to life. Never say no – you have to be interested to be interesting, and your job is to support your partners.”
~ Scott Adsit
Vet Life Reimagined guest today agrees that improv skills can translate over to veterinary medicine. Dr. Nikko Grossapoulos started as a theatre major, but he always had a love for animals and worked in veterinary clinics as an assistant and CSR. Going to vet school was delayed by a thriving business venture, but 10 years later, he went to the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Nikko is now a Senior Professional Services Veterinarian for Zoetis, active in the Minnesota VMA, and is combining many of his skills into teaching at a unique summer camp called Frogwarts in Iowa.
In this episode, we discuss
- How improv skills can be valuable in veterinary medicine
- Veterinary careers in industry
- Opportunities for pre-veterinary students for financial support from state VMAs
