Burnout affects between one-third and half of all veterinary team members and is more common among non-veterinarians and new graduates. The signs of burnout are insidious and can be difficult to separate from stress, fatigue, and depression. It is important to learn tools and strategies for burnout prevention early in one’s career to foster resilience during today’s unprecedented stressors. During this session, the signs and stages of burnout will be reviewed, as well as practical pointers for management and prevention. All attendees will gain foundational knowledge and skills for fostering lifelong personal and professional wellbeing.
