18. DVMoms: Building Community and Changing Vet Med with Dr. Jamie Perkins

In this episode, we talk with Dr. Jamie Perkins, Chief Veterinary Officer of DVMoms, about the power of community, innovation in education, and leading with values. Jamie shares her journey from being a single mom in veterinary school to shaping veterinary education through game based learning, 3D modeling, and conference leadership.

We explore how DVMoms grew into one of the largest communities in veterinary medicine, with thousands of members supporting one another through parenting, clinical questions, career changes, and life’s hardest moments. From wildfire evacuations to lost blankets to neurodiversity conversations, the stories highlight just how much connection and support this group provides.

Jamie also talks about the future of veterinary education, why games create more effective and inclusive learning, and how confidence and clear values can open unexpected career doors. We discuss what it means to stand firm in your priorities, ask for what you need, and lead in a way that aligns with both family and career.

If you have ever wondered how to blend personal and professional life in a way that feels authentic, or how community can create opportunities you never imagined, this conversation will inspire you to think differently about what is possible.
