Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the impact of structured daily well-being practices on the mental health of veterinary workers, focusing on compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress, amidst their challenging work environment.
- It involved a randomized control trial over six months, where one group of veterinary workers practiced daily well-being techniques while a control group did not, measuring their outcomes through the Professional Quality of Life (ProQOL) assessment.
- Results indicated that the group incorporating well-being practices showed a significant increase in compassion satisfaction after six months, although no substantial differences were observed in burnout or secondary traumatic stress scores between the two groups.
Novel approaches to the clinical training of veterinary students in many disciplines are being sought by veterinary colleges. In 2004, the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine approached the Small Animal Department and Florida Veterinary Specialists (FVS) in Tampa with a proposal to jointly design and run an elective clerkship in emergency medicine. The program would focus on providing increased emergency case exposure in a real-world environment to interested third- and fourth-year veterinary students.
