It’s hard to go anywhere in veterinary medicine these days without hearing about problems relating to wellness, mental health, and even suicide, but what is really happening?
This lecture looks at both veterinary personality types and tendencies as individuals, as well as workplace stressors common in veterinary medicine. For each topic, we will explore the literature surrounding mental wellness and veterinary stressors, with an eye to finding real-world solutions to these problems.

This virtual webinar is worth 1 hour RACE approved non-medical CE credit and, thanks to Boehringer-Ingelheim, is completely free to veterinary professionals!
