Скачать или смотреть What Being a Veterinarian Really Takes | Melanie Bowden, DVM | TEDxCoeurdalene

Dr. Melanie Bowden is passionate about starting a revolution in the veterinary industry. By developing a better partnership between veterinarians and pet owners, she hopes to build a better future for the veterinary profession and the animals we all love. Dr. Melanie Bowden is a graduate of WSU College of Veterinary Medicine and a practicing veterinarian with active licenses in Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Maine and New Hampshire. Having worked in corporate, family-owned and emergency clinic settings, Dr. Bowden has witnessed first-hand the burn-out, compassion fatigue, and emotional exhaustion that is plaguing the veterinary industry. In 2020, Dr. Bowden will launch her business Vacation Vet LLC to provide relief veterinary services to veterinary clinics throughout the PNW and New England. Dr. Bowden will be filling in when veterinarians need time off for vacations, conferences, sick leave or just because a clinic is under-staffed. She hopes through her relief work she can help lighten the load on other veterinarians, help them achieve better work/life balance, and raise awareness about burnout and suicide in the veterinary field. You can contact her at @vacationvet (Instagram) or Vacation Vet (Facebook). This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
