Dr. Elan Armstrong, DVM, MPH
Emergency Veterinarian and Mentor

I’ve spent the majority of my career in the trenches of emergency medicine — the middle-of-the-night stats, the unpredictable cases, the moments that teach you more in minutes than textbooks could in years. Out of that chaos, I built not just resilience, but a philosophy: veterinarians deserve mentorship that’s relatable, practical, and empowering.

In 2020, I started The Modern Vet YouTube channel, sharing study strategies and NAVLE prep videos that reached thousands of vet students, new vet grads and vet nurses worldwide. What began as a side project grew into a community which is proof that there’s a deep need for guidance beyond the classroom!

So, here is what I have in mind. If you are a new

  • General practice vet looking to sharpen their medicine and client communication…
  • ER-bound vet who wants to master the chaos and walk into the ICU with confidence…

then you are exactly who I built The Modern Vet for.

My mission is simple: to bridge the gap between veterinary school and the real world, so that no vet feels like they’re “just surviving” when they should be thriving.

Because the truth is, this profession doesn’t need more stress — it needs modern mentorship. And that’s exactly why The Modern Vet exists.
