In the latest episode of The Next Step, we sit down with Jeff Wyatt, the University of Rochester's Veterinarian and Professor of Comparative Medicine, to discuss his career journey and the fascinating intersections between human, animal, and ecosystem health. Jeff talks about what led to his decision to pursue a master's in Public Health and ultimately bridge gaps between veterinary and human medicine, taking him all over the world to do so. As the first veterinarian to complete the Public Health program here at the University, Jeff’s story is one of pioneering leadership and dedication, especially in championing environmental health and community well-being around the Great Lakes. This conversation is packed with career advice for those considering paths that challenge the traditional boundaries of medicine.
