Summary

Welcome to "It Might Get Weird," the podcast where we dive into the journeys of veterinary professionals.

Your hosts are Dr. Gary Marshall and Sara Rae.
Gary has been a veterinarian for more than 35 years. Sara has been a veterinarian for zero years. That's about to change and that's why we're here.

Our main focus will be to follow Sara on adventures as a Washington State University class of 2028 veterinary student. We’ll be along for the ride as she encounters challenges, and celebrates triumphs during her 4 year commitment to become a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine.

Along the way, we’ll also interview super interesting individuals who have valuable stories to share about their personal and professional journeys.

  • S2 : E21 - The Emily Collins Episode - Part 1
    May 5 2026

    We are so excited to introduce Emily Collins to all of you. At the time of this interview, Emily was finishing her first year as a Texas A&M Veterinary Student at their VERO campus in Canyon, Texas.

    Gary met Emily while at SAVMA Symposium in Raleigh, NC this spring and was fascinated and impressed with her drive and passion for political advocacy in veterinary medicine at such an early part of her career. In part 1, we get to know her path to vet school, and how a detour along that path sparked her interest in advocacy. I'm confident you will enjoy getting to know her and will also want to come back next week for Part 2 (S2 : E22). Thanks for listening.

    If you haven't listened to S2 : E19, which is the Sydney Paris interview Part 1, go there now it's great, and it's not too long. You can listen to both. As good as that was, I think this episode is even more special. In this episode, we learn a bit more of what motivated Sydney to do all the things she does. I even learned amazing new things! Sydney has started her own affinity group! Listen, Learn, Enjoy. We're glad you stopped by.

    We are excited for you to listen to this episode with Class of '27 Cornell Vet Student Sydney Paris. As usual, this conversation went long so it will be a two parter. You really will want to listen to this before season 2 episode 20. It really sets the stage for that part of the conversation. Please explore Sydney's LinkedIn when you get a chance. We could only touch on all the places she's been and experiences she's had. Thanks so much for listening. Please tell your friends about this.
