Feeling burnt out? You're not alone. Mary Beth Spitznagel and Jason Coe illuminate the often overlooked issue of burden transfer and its consequent burnout within veterinary teams. Their JAVMA article details the widespread nature of this concern, emphasizing the need to support each other's well-being in a profession where everyone, regardless of their role, is susceptible to the significant stress and burnout.

Hear Mary Beth's personal narrative on how her experiences as a pet owner motivated her to investigate this pressing issue further. We challenge you to comprehend and tackle the five domains of burden transfer - daily hassles, affect, nonadherent/inconsiderate behaviors, confrontations, and excess communications. These domains are more than just theoretical constructs; they have profound impacts that can disrupt the harmony within veterinary teams.

From burden transfer, we pivot towards resilience and determination, two must-have traits to thrive not just in veterinary practice but any professional field. Mary Beth and Jason recount their personal experiences with failure and disconnection, and how they've turned their adversities into vehicles for resilience and determination. Tune in to Veterinary Vertex to understand, manage, and overcome the challenges of burden transfer and burnout. This episode promises a meaningful conversation that's essential for anyone in the veterinary profession or anyone grappling with burnout in their careers. Don't miss it!
