New Insights Into Veterinarian Wellbeing and How to Improve It

We are pleased to partner with Dr. Sheryl Gamble and MERCK Animal Health to discuss the latest comprehensive study of U.S. veterinarians that documents the state of well-being and mental health in the profession. Dr. Gamble will present the newest findings from the MERCK Animal Health Veterinarian Wellbeing Study that was conducted in collaboration with the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) and Brakke Consulting that provides an overview of the well-being and mental health of veterinarians over time. Dr. Gamble will also share and facilitate discussions around healthy strategies for veterinarian wellbeing and provide clear takeaways for attendees.
