Welcome to the Veterinary Breakroom! Join Alyssa Watson, DVM, and Beth Molleson, DVM, as they discuss pressing issues impacting the veterinary profession. In this episode, they react to a recent study examining the motivators, challenges, and well-being of veterinarians working in mobile end-of-life (EOL) care. The study found that EOL practitioners report higher job fulfillment and lower burnout than many of their peers. As a part-time EOL provider, Dr. Watson shares her personal perspective and how the findings align with her own experience. Tune in as they challenge common assumptions about the emotional toll of performing frequent euthanasia.
