Veterinary medicine can be a uniquely rewarding profession, and there are inherent challenges within the field that can influence our well-being. Increasing awareness and giving voice to those factors within the work and our daily lives that contribute to distress and discontent is necessary for making changes that can improve well-being and support career contentment. This session seeks to create greater understanding of compassion fatigue, burnout, and moral distress within the context of the neurobiology of trauma/chronic stress, and it will discuss tools and practices that support the different domains of well-being within this context. It will also look at relevant community resources for consideration within the field of veterinary medicine.

This program will help attendees:

• Develop an understanding of the neurobiology of trauma/chronic stress and the impact on mental health and well-being
• Define well-being concerns within the veterinary industry, including compassion fatigue, burnout, and moral distress
• Describe intrapersonal and interpersonal tools and practices to support different domains of well-being
• Identify community resources within the field of veterinary medicine
