Dr. James Kober: Veterinarian Growth Advice | Ep. 153
Learning, adapting, and overcoming challenges are constant battles everyone has to go through several times in life. The lessons learned from these experiences are extremely important in helping us find success throughout our careers. In this episode, I talk with Dr. James Kober about some of the lessons he has learned from being a practicing veterinarian for the last 35 years, as well as some issues in the industry that he thinks need to be addressed.
"If I sit in a lecture and can learn 1 or 2 take-home messages then that is a success. Take-home messages on any kind of continuing education are really important." - Dr. James Kober

๐ ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ด๐๐ฒ๐๐: Dr. James Kober is a swine veterinarian in Michigan with many years of experience. He earned his bachelorโs degree in animal science in 1983 and his DVM in 1987, both from Michigan State University. He also holds a masterโs in science from Iowa State in Swine Production Medicine. Dr. Koberโs first job after veterinary school was at a mixed animal practice in southern Michigan. Swine made up 50% of that practice and nearly all farms utilized outdoor production. He then moved to central Indiana and practiced with Dr. Max Rodibaugh, a great mentor and a leader in the industry. In 1993 he started his practice in Holland, Michigan, which he ran for 27 years before selling it in 2020.
