Cyberbullying has the same effects, and should have the same repercussions, as traditional bullying or harassment.
Substance abuse in veterinary medicine has become a widespread problem and has repercussions in the abuser’s personal and professional life, as well as staff, patients, and clients in the workplace.
There has been a significant amount of focus on veterinary technician utilization—or rather, underutilization—as an issue within our profession.
What can we, as veterinary technicians who are feeling helpless and frustrated against the misuse of our professional title, do?
Communication from the veterinary team and owner compliance go hand-in-hand in making sure the pet stays up-to-date on preventive medications and post-surgery care.
Each member of the veterinary healthcare team plays an important role that is critical to the overall success of the team and, subsequently, to the overall wellness of the patient and success of the hospital.
Burnout, compassion fatigue, work-related stress, depression, and suicide are words that we veterinary nurses are unfortunately familiar with.
The AVMA Board of Directors will seek to develop a plan to improve veterinary technician utilization.
By respecting and empowering veterinary technicians, we all benefit: clients tend to be more engaged and well-informed, and the health and wellbeing of their pets may also benefit as a result.
The road to a positive work environment is paved with respect for one another.
