So, without further ado...
Introducing, the cat-loving veterinarian with big dreams, Dr. Brittney Kilgore!

Doors Open When You Follow Your Heart

It takes a long time to become a veterinarian.

In addition to elementary school and high school, there is undergrad and then another several years completing a DVM. But when all is said and done, endless opportunities await, and that’s a very exciting feeling.

For Brittney Kilgore, every second has been worth it.

In addition to all that schooling, she has been a veterinary technician and assistant for seven years. Now, the doors are wide open for her.

Dr. Kilgore’s ultimate mission in life?

“To be happy within and outside of my career,” she says. “I want to continue to open the doors to less common avenues of veterinary medicine such as feline only medicine and integrative practices while also emphasizing how important it is to maintain your life outside of work with relationships, your health, and your own leisure.”

In five years, she hopes to be “my same self but a little wiser and experienced.” And (if the stars align) also open her own feline only hospital in the future!

Money Isn’t Everything

Furthermore, Brittney knows that understanding money is necessary when it comes to veterinary medicine.

For example, having financial discussions with pet owners, talking to employers about salaries, investing in courses and additional training, etc. is all to be expected when entering this field.

But even though money matters, Brittney Kilgore reminds us that it’s not everything. In fact, our fixation on wealth is something she wants to see change.
Kilgore explains:

“I would like to see less value in money and more value in relationships, health, and saving the environment,” she says. “I think we just need to be taught again to be connected with nature and one another as humans as well. Modern day times and capitalism has people so obsessed with business and luxuries but not on your health, community, and being able to nurture the planet for ourselves and generations to come. Money runs the world unfortunately, but it's something personally I wish would change.”

Instead,cvalues more intrinsic things. For instance, being outwardly kind to others.

“Sincere acts of kindness are hard to come by, and it really makes my heart warm when I see selfless people who do for others just to make the other person's life better,” she ends.
