377: From ‘I should’ to ‘Why?': A different approach to burnout

“We all know that burnout in [veterinary] medicine is really kind of an epidemic,” cohost Aaron Shaw, OTR/L, CHT, CSCS, begins in this episode of The Resilient Vet: Mind and Body Strategies for Success. In this installment, Shaw and Jennifer Edwards, DVM, ACC, CPC, ELI-MP, dig into why veterinary professionals continue to struggle with burnout despite the abundance of wellness information available.

According to Shaw and Edwards, addressing burnout starts with identifying an individual’s true “why,” recognizing what gets in the way, and shifting from gathering information to taking action in meaningful, personalized ways.
