Shana Bohac, DVM

COVID-19 has tested our skills and forced veterinary practice owners, associates and teams out of our comfort zones in many ways. It has also taught us some important lessons along the way.

You work hard in veterinary practice. You earn your income. Don’t be afraid to enjoy it.

When the going gets tough, stick to the basics of good communication and kindness to help improve the bond between you and those difficult clients.

How promoting selfcare in your veterinary practice can help address the suicide crisis in veterinary medicine.

When were caught between the family we love and the veterinary career we cherish, our fears and guilt can overwhelm us. Stop beating up on yourself, veterinarian moms.

Practice owners, you dont need to be best friends with your veterinary associate, or share the same hobbies, or practice the exact same style of medicine. You just have to treat others as you want to be treated by being fair, honest and appreciative.

I think that we well-meaning, hard-working veterinarians sabotage our own happiness, job satisfaction and personal health by doing these five things.
