From Reindeer to Koalas: How Becoming the Yukon Vet Allowed Dr. Michelle Oakley to Spread the Good
In this very special edition of VetFolio Voice, Dr. Cassi is joined by Dr. Michelle Oakley—National Geographic’s Yukon Vet. They discuss her journey in veterinary medicine, how she ended up in her current role and how being a “TV vet” has allowed her to bring veterinary care to remote areas that may otherwise have gone without. They also touch on Dr. Oakley’s work in developing a foundation to help support established wildlife centers, and the ethics, emotions and logistics involved in filming a television show focused around veterinary care in remote settings.
