We are going off the leash and heading straight to Tigertown! In this episode of Soda City Unleashed, host Emily sits down with Dr. Brian Butler, the Associate Dean of Clinical Programs at Clemson University’s brand-new Harvey S. Peeler, Jr. College of Veterinary Medicine—the very first vet school in South Carolina history! 🐾🐅

Dr. Butler takes us behind the scenes of what it takes to launch a modern veterinary program. We dive into the details of their competency-based curriculum, what they look for in their handpicked inaugural class of 80 students, and how they are shaking up traditional vet school training with a "partially distributed" clinical model.

Plus, we talk about Clemson’s exciting new teaching partnership with local multi-specialty emergency facilities like CVETS. Discover how this innovative collaboration builds real-world confidence, creates deep-rooted mentor relationships, and strengthens the veterinary landscape across South Carolina and the rural communities that need it most.

Whether you're a prospective vet student looking for a growth mindset, a pet owner curious about the future of veterinary care, or just want to hear a good The Pitt TV show reference, you won't want to miss this deep dive into the future of pet health!

In this episode of Soda City Unleashed, host Emily White sits down with Molly Hill, a renowned veterinary consultant and Certified Veterinary Practice Manager (CVPM).

Molly shares her advice for newer practice managers on finding their support systems, the secrets behind cultivating a positive clinic culture, and even drops a few of the funniest pet names she's encountered throughout her decades in the field.
