From AVMA: Manage Burnout and Reduce Stress at Work

August 13, 2023

Be a leader in your wellbeing journey!

When it comes to wellbeing—whether at home or in the workplace—knowledge and action go hand in hand. Three new webinars on AVMA Axon® explore the current research on wellbeing and teach practical strategies for creating healthier work environments, reducing burnout, and increasing overall happiness at work and at home.

All three were among the most popular sessions presented at AVMA’s 2023 Veterinary Leadership Conference, the profession’s premier event for leadership development.
