Dr. Josh Rosen (known online as D-O-G-T-O-R Josh) joins host Dr. Andy Roark to debate a provocative question: should veterinary operations leaders who come from outside medicine be required to complete a clinic-based onboarding before leading teams? They explore the tension between “medicine people” focused on individual patients and “operations people” focused on scale, and how lack of day-to-day context can lead to decisions (like shorter appointments, pricing changes, wellness plans, or staffing shifts) that fuel burnout, harm client relationships, and hurt retention. Rosen argues leaders do not need technical skills like drawing blood, but they do need repeated, ongoing clinic exposure (such as weekly doctor shadowing) to understand real workflow and build sustainable, collaborative relationships between medical and operational leadership.
Dr. Josh Rosen is a relief veterinarian and veterinary content creator based in the New York metro area, practicing across NYC, Long Island, and Northern New Jersey. A graduate of the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine, his clinical interests span preventative care, urgent care, soft tissue surgery, dentistry, dermatology, and internal medicine. Working across many practices has given Dr. Rosen a rare, unfiltered view of what's actually happening on the ground in veterinary medicine today, including the growing gap between how organized medicine operates and what the people doing the work know it needs. He channels that perspective into his platform, @dogtorjosh on Instagram, where he covers clinical empathy, effective communication, team culture, and all the relatable laughs we share in this amazing profession. Today, he's advocating for a profession led by those with real, lived veterinary experience, rather than metrics alone.

:I am your host, Dr.
3
:Randy Rourke.
4
:Hey, should, operations train people
who have not worked in practice
5
:before, should they be required
to do like a medical onboarding
6
:before they become a regional
director or an operational
7
:leader, should that be a thing?
8
:What would that even look like?
9
:Guys, I have a guest on today, Dr.
10
:Josh Rosen, , or dog tour.
11
:Josh as he is known online.
12
:, but he had some interesting thoughts
on this and I kind of brought him on.
13
:Because I thought that's a fun idea
I would like to play with, and he's
14
:clearly thought a lot about it.
15
:And honestly, I, I really
like this episode a lot.
16
:I think that there's, , I think
that there's some real opportunity
17
:and potential for people who are
trained in outside of medicine,
18
:in operations, and people who are
trained in medicine and outside of
19
:operations to spend more time together.
20
:And to get to see each other more clearly.
21
:And I think that's, I think
that that's really important for
22
:the future of our profession.
23
:I think it's gonna decide which
practices are great and which
24
:pre practices, , really struggle.
25
:And so anyway, I just, I really
took a lot away from this talk.
26
:It's a really cool idea.
27
:Talk.
28
:I hope you guys will enjoy it.
29
:Let's get into.
30
:Kelsey Beth Carpenter: This is your show.
31

:Welcome to the Cone of Shame with Dr.

:Andy Roark.
35
:dr--andy-roark-_1_02-06-2026_132324:
Welcome to the podcast, Dr.
36
:Josh Rosen.
37
:How are you my friend?
38
:squadcaster-319f_1_02-06-2026_132324:
I'm doing great.
39
:Doing great.
40
:dr--andy-roark-_1_02-06-2026_132324:
Josh, for people who don't know
41
:you, you are a vet influencer
of social media, , presence.
42
:I really enjoy your stuff.
43
:I think you're funny.
44
:I think you're very positive, , when
you talk about vet medicine and,
45
:, you're a very optimistic person.
46
:And so those are the things
that I look for on social media.
47
:I just, I really enjoy
the work that you do.
48
:you were also.
49
:The veterinarian behind Doctor Josh,
D-O-G-T-O-R, doctor Josh, , vet
50
:Relief and Consulting Services.
51
:, You have an interesting, you've got a
really interesting perspective, which
52
:is why I wanted to invite you on here.
53
:It's sort of a combination of
who you are, meaning you, you
54
:do a lot in the profession.
55
:Yeah.
56
:I think you have a, sort of a
high level view of the industry.
57
:You do relief work, so you
are going into practices.
58
:You have.
59
:Been a medical director at multiple,
for multiple hospital groups.
60
:And so you have been in, in medical
leadership inside of a couple of
61
:different types of organizations , and
then you do consulting services as well.
62
:And so I think you've got
a really cool perspective.
63
:And you had a social media
post I saw on Instagram.
64
:It's been a little while now.
65
:but, but a while ago you had this
post and I thought it was fun.
66
:And you said that you believed that
people who were coming into vet medicine.
67
:From outside the industry in like
a leadership or operations role
68
:should be required to do, to have
like an externship, , learning,
69
:like, like doing the medicine side
before they were allowed to lead
70
:other people inside of vet medicine.
71
:I thought that was a fun idea
and I want you to, I want you
72
:to state your case for me.
73
:, squadcaster-319f_1_02-06-2026_132324:
that's definitely, a fun topic to discuss.
74
:I really appreciate being here.
75
:I'm excited to talk about this.
76
:So, when we talk about, , organizational
medicine and we talk about the idea
77
:of being able to, , make decisions
and, and make adjustments to the way
78
:that we want to be able to help as
many pets as we can and, and be able
79
:to make our team as happy as possible.
80
:. There's definitely situations
where we aren't always bringing in
81
:people at, , say, regional levels
or, , operational leadership levels
82
:that have been throughout the process
of, veterinary medicine before.
83
:And maybe they're coming from outside of
the industry from, . I typically refer
84
:to say like Target or, I've seen seven
11 or, there's different companies out
85
:there where there's a different way of
looking at, , the financial perspective
86
:and, and being able to be as productive
and, and perform as well as possible.
87
:Keep your business as healthy as possible.
88
:, I think that it's really important too.
89
:Keep those ideas and, and not,
leave those types , of individuals
90
:out of the conversation.
91
:However, when we know that they are
coming in with the weakness that they
92
:have not been in this field before.
93
:It is our duty in this field to make
sure that those individuals understand
94
:what it is that they're managing at
the level that they're coming into.
95
:Because if they are making decisions
that are, say, changing the pricing,
96
:model that exists at a clinic, or maybe
they're adding, wellness plan, or maybe
97
:they are taking people off the floor
for a certain day of the week, whatever
98
:the case is, that they understand what
those impacts actually are, aside from.
99
:The financial benefit and the reason
why that's important is because.
100
:if we are only looking at the short
term gain of making these decisions
101
:and we haven't had the benefit of
being in the clinic and seeing what
102
:those impacts are, we, we don't truly
know what we're comparing against,
103
:when we do a risk benefit analysis
to say that in the long term, is
104
:this going to harm our relationships
with clients in the long term?
105
:Is this going to harm our
relationships with our staff?
106
:, What is our retention rate currently?
107
:And things along those lines that are
really important when we talk about.
108
:Financial health, not just the idea of
being able to perform as well as possible.
109
:dr--andy-roark-_1_02-06-2026_132324:
I have this idea, I wanna
110
:see if you buy into it.
111
:So I have this idea that
there's two kinds of people.
112
:In the industry, there's medicine
people and there's operations people.
113
:And it's not just like
what your job title is.
114
:, it's a worldview, I think.
115
:I think that medicine, people want
to do medicine and operations.
116
:People want to get medicine
done, and those sounds similar,
117
:but they're really not.
118
:And so my take on this is medicine.
119
:People see the world through
the lens of The goal is to do
120
:the medicine and the operations.
121
:People see the world through a
whole different lens of we want to
122
:accomplish this outcome and, and.
123
:I, I, I think that it's more
than just like priority.
124
:I think it's more than your priorities.
125
:I think it's more than idea.
126
:I think they're really
different worldviews.
127
:But as I'm listening to you talk
about this, you're setting this up.
128
:It seems like you might disagree
and sort of say it's really about
129
:the experiences But I'm not sure.
130
:So, Josh, let me ask you that.
131
:Do you buy my idea?
132
:That medicine people and operations
people have fundamentally different
133
:worldviews in, in a lot of cases?
134
:Or do you think that they're more similar
really than I do, and it's really a matter
135
:of just, , what experiences have you had?
136
:squadcaster-319f_1_02-06-2026_132324:
Are you saying that like those are
137
:the individuals that tend to practice
at the clinic level versus those
138
:that are, are not practicing at the
clinic level, are more in the mindset
139
:of, of getting the medicine done?
140
:dr--andy-roark-_1_02-06-2026_132324:
It's not even at the clinic.
141
:It's not even at the,
clinic level necessarily.
142
:I, I think that, my thought is if you've
been trained in medicine and, , I think
143
:if you've been trained in medicine
and you, talk to the pet owners.
144
:I think that you look at medicine a
certain way, which is actually the
145
:individual patient is the focal point.
146
:And what the top priority is.
147
:And I think if you're in operations,
by definition, you tend to think
148
:less about the individual patient and
more about moving patients at scale.
149
:And those two things are just different.
150
:You know what I mean?
151
:It's hard to explain.
152
:How often do you get conflict, because
I'm talking about when you say we need to.
153
:We need to shorten appointment links.
154
:I am thinking about the specific pet
owner that has lots of questions,
155
:you know, and really needs her time
, and what that's gonna do to her.
156
:And you are thinking
about the, you know, 125.
157
:Clients that we see in a day and how
we move those people through there.
158
:And I feel like there's a lot of
inherent tension because those two just
159
:worldviews just ways of looking at things.
160
:They're, they're just,
they're naturally different.
161
:Do you, do you kind of buy into that?
162
:squadcaster-319f_1_02-06-2026_132324:
I definitely buy into that I, and
163
:I honestly think that it works
in conjunction with what I'm
164
:dr--andy-roark-_1_02-06-2026_132324:
I think so, yeah.
165
:squadcaster-319f_1_02-06-2026_132324:
If you have individuals that or
166
:just have a tendency, this isn't
about this is almost like a, a
167
:subconscious bias of some sort, right?
168
:This isn't about like right
or wrong or good or bad.
169
:This is just plainly about what that
individual is really good at doing, right?
170
:And so if you take that idea and you
put them in a situation, whether it
171
:be, headquarters, where you have all
of the operational leaders, all of
172
:the medical leaders, all the financial
people working in one setting, that.
173
:They've never been in the clinic
before to be able to say, no.
174
:These are individuals, these
are individual patients.
175
:These are individual teammates.
176
:These are individual clients.
177
:it's not as simple as like reading
it off of study card or a flashcard,
178
:dr--andy-roark-_1_02-06-2026_132324: Yeah.
179
:squadcaster-319f_1_02-06-2026_132324:
is, this is more of a soft skill and
180
:understanding how we communicate and
how we have relationships with each
181
:other is that if we aren't understanding
just at a very basic level, that we are
182
:individuals, all of us in this process,
even if you're managing hundreds of
183
:people at once, that when you lose that
people piece or you never strive to
184
:get it in in the first place because
where you were previously working
185
:really didn't require it because you
were working in a retail setting where.
186
:, You're moving products that are, things
that people are buying on a regular
187
:basis that aren't necessarily always
transferable to a medicine setting.
188
:, Especially when we talk about
things like, sick cases and,
189
:and things along those lines.
190
:We still have to collect that data.
191
:We still have to make sure that
we're comparing it appropriately
192
:and seeing that we're growing
in the scale that we want to.
193
:The idea that's the only thing that we're
focusing on and we're not, and we're not
194
:keeping the individual in mind is, is the
direction that I don't want to see us go.
195
:And, and I do feel that part of the
reason why I feel we're going in that
196
:direction is because I have seen a lot
of individuals coming from outside of the
197
:industry in those roles that, that just
haven't had the pleasure of being able
198
:to see what's done on a day-to-day basis.
199
:They're told and they
understand maybe at a, at a.
200
:Higher level and they come
and visit here or there.
201
:But to understand like what
happens when have a okay, we want
202
:to go to 15 minute appointments.
203
:. Are we gonna have that conversation and,
and not, and not have , the team support
204
:that's needed to accommodate that?
205
:Right.
206
:Like you're talking about the idea
of, well, what happens when a client
207
:comes in that wants to talk to me
for 20, 30 minutes about a really,
208
:complicated case and they have the
right to do so because their pet
209
:does have a lot of things going on.
210
:Do you have a team that's supporting
you that, that allows that 15 minute,
211
:booking area , to match what you're
looking for productivity wise?
212
:Because if you're not paying attention
to that, you're thinking about , that
213
:performance which is important.
214
:, But you're not thinking about the
individual which, which takes away
215
:from sustainability in the long term,
whether it's because of your team burning
216
:out or because your clientele lose
their relationship with your clinic.
217
:dr--andy-roark-_1_02-06-2026_132324:
I like this idea the
218
:sustainability and the burnout.
219
:I think That's really interesting.
220
:When I was thinking about having you
on and sort of talking about this,
221
:I was really just kind of enjoying
playing with the idea of some
222
:sort of an onboarding for people.
223
:People who are not from
within vet medicine and kind
224
:of what does that look like?
225
:, And the question I had that I think
is really important is, what are we
226
:actually wanting people to learn?
227
:What are we onboarding 'em to?
228
:I don't think that it makes any
sense for the regional director
229
:to know how to draw blood.
230
:You know what I mean?
231
:I don't think it makes any sense
for them to know how to clean cages.
232
:I don't think it's that, and I don't think
when we talk about those sorts of things
233
:that's not what we're talking about.
234
:And so I, I think it's becoming, I
think the answer's becoming much more
235
:clear here, which I think is good, but.
236
:What would be if you were
actually gonna do this?
237
:And I said to you, all right, Josh,
we're gonna make this onboarding
238
:program for regional directors that
have not, you know, worked in practice
239
:before, and they're, coming over , from
Target or Amazon or Google, and I
240
:want you to onboard this person.
241
:What do you see as the objectives
for the onboarding specifically?
242
:Because it can't be just to spend time.
243
:And , it can't be just to spend time,
you know, in the clinic, and it can't be.
244
:They should learn effective, safe
animal patient restraint like that.
245
:I like that.
246
:Doesn't make sense.
247
:I don't need the guy from Google who's,
you know, who's gonna work at the regional
248
:level to be able to restrain pets.
249
:But I do, I'm buying a lot of what
you're saying about the benefits
250
:of sort of spending that time.
251
:And so, yeah.
252
:When I put it to you like that, and if I
said to you, what would be the objectives
253
:of your training, tell me about, like,
how would you I don't, I don't mean again.
254
:I don't know how deep you can go into the
weeds of just talking off the cuff like
255
:this, but like what does that look like?
256
:How do you put that together?
257
:What are the goals?
258
:squadcaster-319f_1_02-06-2026_132324: from
a big lens first I will argue that part of
259
:this can be them just being in the clinic.
260
:And the reason
261
:dr--andy-roark-_1_02-06-2026_132324: Okay.
262
:squadcaster-319f_1_02-06-2026_132324:
that is because if they, if the work
263
:that they're doing require a location.
264
:and they're not, say, working from afar.
265
:Like if you're a remote
employee and you're
266
:dr--andy-roark-_1_02-06-2026_132324:
Mm-hmm.
267
:squadcaster-319f_1_02-06-2026_132324:
and miles away , from where the clinic
268
:locations are, you know, there's
obviously going to be, situations
269
:where that's not going to work.
270
:But
271
:dr--andy-roark-_1_02-06-2026_132324:
Right.
272
:squadcaster-319f_1_02-06-2026_132324:
when it works out.
273
:have the opportunity to do the same
things that you would do onboarding
274
:in a setting where there's a clinic
and there's an office space where
275
:you can spend the time there.
276
:So I will just start off by saying
it is a very easy pivot, just from
277
:the point of view of, being able to
see what it is that you're managing.
278
:And I, and I believe that from a,
a managerial, you know, standpoint
279
:is that, if you want to truly lead.
280
:can't lead something that
you've never lived, you
281
:dr--andy-roark-_1_02-06-2026_132324: Hmm.
282
:squadcaster-319f_1_02-06-2026_132324:
I don't mean that you have
283
:to know how to pull blood.
284
:I don't mean that you have to
learn how to restrain an animal.
285
:What I'm talking about is just simply
context, understanding that maybe, you
286
:don't need to know how to draw blood,
but you maybe you want to know how long
287
:it takes to get through an appointment
that has a full workup when you have
288
:one team member with the veterinarian
versus two members versus three members.
289
:I personally think that it's really,
really important to, . Have at least
290
:like a half hour a week where you're
half hour to an hour a week where they
291
:are actually shadowing a doctor, not
so that they understand medicine, not
292
:so that they understand why or or what
it is that they're planning on doing,
293
:but so that they understand the context
of what it is that they are managing.
294
:Just like any other leadership
role, you don't have to know.
295
:The skills of what you're managing, but
you absolutely have to know the context.
296
:Otherwise you're not going to create
the relationships that allow , for
297
:coaching to, to adjust , to a greater
performance and, to create the
298
:relationships that, have a, positive
impact on, things like, the employees
299
:that, are doing really good work for
you, working for you for a long time.
300
:dr--andy-roark-_1_02-06-2026_132324: Yeah.
301
:Okay.
302
:I think I can get into this bit of
bite-size exposure therapy as well.
303
:I think that makes sense to me.
304
:I think I was originally imagining
like a mandatory Hallmark movie where
305
:they were just put into the, that
clinic and they had to stay there
306
:until they had a change of heart.
307
:You know what I mean?
308
:Until, until they met the.
309
:squadcaster-319f_1_02-06-2026_132324:
stethoscope.
310
:dr--andy-roark-_1_02-06-2026_132324: Yeah.
311
:Yeah.
312
:Until they met the pet owner
that changed it all for them.
313
:And I was like, boy, that
sounds like a long way to go.
314
:But I do, I, I like the idea of if
you're going to run this, you should be
315
:exposed and re-exposed to the context.
316
:, and I actually kinda like the idea of,
of some sort of ongoing exposure to
317
:what's happening in the practice because.
318
:I do believe that people forget, if
you're a veterinarian and you don't
319
:go into the clinic for five years, you
don't really remember what it's like.
320
:You do, but you don't really
remember how the chaos feels.
321
:You don't remember the stress.
322
:On the shoulders of the people around
you and just seeing it on them.
323
:Like those are, they're subtle things
that, you actually feel when you're there.
324
:It's like practice has a feel to
it , and that's the first thing to go.
325
:You can remember the stories from when
you were there, but it's not the same
326
:as getting in there and feeling it.
327
:squadcaster-319f_1_02-06-2026_132324: Or
maybe you do remember, and you're going
328
:through, you know, you're climbing the
ladder as like a, veterinarian that's five
329
:to 10 years out, and you finally get to
the point where you're in leadership , and
330
:you're maybe ready to make change, but
everyone you wants to make an adjustment
331
:because they see the opportunity for.
332
:Improvement , for
performance, productivity.
333
:You're sitting there and you're like, do
I want to be the bad guy that wants to
334
:tell everyone that this is never going
to work because like of X, Y, and Z?
335
:and I think it's, it is definitely funny,
but at the same time, I know it happens.
336
:dr--andy-roark-_1_02-06-2026_132324: yeah.
337
:Oh, it definitely does.
338
:squadcaster-319f_1_02-06-2026_132324:
happens and.
339
:That's also why it's so important
that these organizations allow for
340
:an equal amount , of leadership that
is coming from the veterinary world
341
:as well as focusing on the finances.
342
:Because I will never argue
that veterinarians are the
343
:strongest, , financial wizards
344
:dr--andy-roark-_1_02-06-2026_132324:
Oh yeah.
345
:squadcaster-319f_1_02-06-2026_132324:
that's not what I'm here to say.
346
:Right?
347
:Like I, I think that , it's just important
that we understand that if we're going
348
:to take in the skills that come from
outside of this industry, that we
349
:also understand that there are still.
350
:Skills that, that come from this industry
when it comes to leadership and management
351
:and, and context is a huge part of that.
352
:dr--andy-roark-_1_02-06-2026_132324:
Well, I was gonna ask you that question.
353
:I had the, I had, the idea of, is
the flip side also a good thing?
354
:Should we have everyone who works
with the animals on the floor, make
355
:payroll one time and like set the
clinic schedule and make sure the
356
:inventory is there because, , yeah,
it's no shade on the operations people.
357
:They've got real skills and
like, honestly, , I think
358
:the best thing would be.
359
:If the medicine people had to do like an
operations onboarding of like, look guys,
360
:this is how the sausage is actually made
and this is how we, this is how we pay
361
:the bills and this is what it means when
you want to have, you know, X, Y, and z
362
:, in the inventory and not run out of it.
363
:And this is how we set
the employee schedule.
364
:And so I do think that that's fun.
365
:I've also got, I got this idea
that you sort of hit on that I
366
:think is really very interesting.
367
:Like, I think that to some degree,
to some level medicine people.
368
:Kind of think the
operations people are evil.
369
:Operations people to some
degree at some level, kind of
370
:think medicine people are dumb.
371
:, Like they're super book
smart, but they, yeah.
372
:I mean, again, I didn't say
that with love, but to both.
373
:But it's like you're
going back to the meeting.
374
:People are like, guys, we're, we're
gonna increase revenue by 20%.
375
:And the medicine people are like, Ew.
376
:And then the medicine people are
like, yeah, nobody, everyone's
377
:gonna hate this and they're gonna.
378
:If they're, we're gonna have
massive retention problems.
379
:And I think the operations
people are like, God, those
380
:medicine people don't get it.
381
:Like, why don't they see that this is
required to, to pay everyone's salary?
382
:And again, I, I think that there's, I
think it, that's why it came with that
383
:worldview idea is I think that there's
a fundamental disconnect of kind of.
384
:Medicine people kind of think ops
people are evil and ops people kind
385
:of think medicine people are dumb
and they just don't get it, you know?
386
:And, and so anyway, I, I, but I I think
what initially excited me about your
387
:idea is just at a theoretical level,
I think it's fun to think about how do
388
:we get these people to see each other?
389
:And I really think that effective
collaborations between operations
390
:and medicine is the biggest
opportunity in vet medicine now.
391
:And I think it's what separates,
, whether it's an individual clinic
392
:or a big organization, I think it
separates the winners from the losers
393
:and the ones that are sustainable is.
394
:Do your medicine people have a voice in
operations and do the operations people
395
:have a voice that gets heard in medicine?
396
:I, I, I, I don't think that's ever
been more important than right now,
397
:and I don't think the balance has ever
shifted more than it has recently.
398
:To your point, there's a lot of people
coming into the industry, especially
399
:coming into the industry at higher levels
that have pure operations backgrounds
400
:and no medicine backgrounds, and it's.
401
:Maintaining that connection and,
getting the two groups to see each
402
:other much less work together.
403
:I think that that's really vital and I, I
don't think that it's happening naturally,
404
:organically in a lot, in a lot of groups.
405
:squadcaster-319f_1_02-06-2026_132324:
Right, because The idea of like,
406
:separating the two and keeping distance
between the two is the same idea, right?
407
:You lose context, you lose the idea
of why the other is so important and.
408
:If you are feeling like the other is
the enemy, you're going to be less
409
:likely to work together because of it.
410
:whether you're thinking about it or
not, , you're not going to collaborate.
411
:And, and that's the real shame is that the
two groups do exist so that they, there
412
:is the most potential for success, right.
413
:dr--andy-roark-_1_02-06-2026_132324:
