Veterinary Team Wellbeing Research: Creating a happier, more energized veterinary team

by Taylor Tillery, DVM and Chantale Kuzmiak, CVT

Course Description: Merck Animal Health has completed its 2nd Veterinary Team Wellbeing Study in the fall of 2023 with the help of NAVTA. This is the first robust analysis of the entire veterinary team composed of veterinary technicians/nurses, veterinary assistants, CSR’s and practice managers. The goal of this research was to determine the levels of mental health, wellbeing and burnout among staff using standardized psychological tools. This robust study allows us to compare/contrast Veterinary staff members with veterinarians and the general population. Further, this allows us to analyze for contributing factors for both job roles and individual segments that are flourishing and for those that are at-risk. Based upon these findings we can suggest specific organizational and personal remedies and interventions to decrease burnout and improve wellbeing and reduce distress among our fellow veterinary team members.
