Key issues facing veterinarians include:
1. Ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic
2. Compassion fatigue

La discussione ha messo in luce la realtà complessa della medicina veterinaria, dove i professionisti entrano nel campo per il loro amore per gli animali, ma scoprono che il loro lavoro comporta in gran parte la gestione delle emozioni e delle aspettative dei proprietari degli animali. Tra le questioni chiave che affrontano i veterinari ci sono:
1. Impatto continuo della pandemia di COVID-19
2. Fatica da compassione
3. Carenza di veterinari e personale tecnico

Elanco는 최근 Dr. Emily Swiniarski와 Dr. Amanda Schnitker와의 인터뷰를 통해 수의사들의 도전과 동기를 탐구했습니다. 이 논의는 수의학의 복잡한 현실을 강조했으며, 전문가들이 동물에 대한 사랑으로 이 분야에 진입하지만, 자신의 일에는 애완동물 주인의 감정과 기대를 관리하는 것이 크게 포함된다는 것을 발견하게 됩니다. 수의사들이 직면한 주요 문제는 다음과 같습니다:
1. COVID-19 팬데믹의 지속적인 영향
2. 연민 피로
3. 수의사 및 기술 인력 부족
4. 새로운 경쟁 치료 모델로 인한 방문 감소
이러한 도전에도 불구하고 수의사들은 동물과 그 주인과의 연결 고리를 제공하고 돌보는 데서 성취감을 찾습니다. Elanco는 비즈니스 전문성과 동물 건강의 충족되지 않은 요구를 위한 혁신적인 솔루션을 제공하여 수의사를 지원합니다.

In this Shared Table newsletter, we explore the path of two veterinarians - what got them into the profession to the very real, complex challenges they are facing today. I recently visited Anti-Cruelty, Chicago's oldest and largest, private, open-admission, unlimited stay humane society, and sat down with Dr. Emily Swiniarski, Medical Director of Anti-Cruelty and Dr. Amanda Schnitker, Hospital Director at Companion Animal Hospital River North and Uptown Animal Hospital, both a part of Uptown Animal Hospital, INC.
Dr. Emily and Dr. Amanda shared what inspired them to pursue a veterinary career - from helping an injured animal on the road to shadowing at a vet clinic to see animal surgeries. Their stories highlight the need for more moments that inspire the next generation to follow in their paths.
Best Quote: "You get in for the animals and you realize it's about the people."
Our conversation shifted gears to the obstacles veterinarians face - a major one being the ongoing impact from the COVID-19 pandemic and shutdown period. While we live in a post-pandemic world today, veterinarians are living with a ripple effect that exacerbated many existing challenges veterinarians face daily - compassion fatigue, shortage of veterinarians and technical staff and visit decline tied to new competitive care models, like online pharmacies and urgent care veterinary hospitals that gained momentum during the pandemic.
Moment to Remember: A day in the life of a veterinarian is a gnarly reality - from an emergency surgery to the shelter veterinarians MacGyver'ing solutions - veterinarians are in the trenches to provide animals with the care they deserve.
Beyond managing the health of our pets, veterinarians also manage pet owners' emotions, expectations, devastations - it's about people. At Elanco we say, Making Animals' Lives Better, Makes Life Better - and without veterinarians this can't happen. That's why Elanco shows up every day for veterinarians, working to bring both the partnership and business expertise and an innovative portfolio that address some of their most challenging unmet needs - from parvovirus and pain to diabetes to itchy dogs. Despite the challenges veterinarians face, it's clear Dr. Emily and Dr. Amanda find deep fulfillment in their work - especially in the moments that involve direct care and connection with animals and their owners.
Huge thanks to all of our veterinary professionals. What you do is so important. I'm inspired by Dr. Emily and Dr. Amanda, their optimism balanced in reality as well as the possibilities they see for the next generation of veterinarians.
Big Takeaway: Deep appreciation for the profound shift in perspective that veterinarians experience in their profession. Initially drawn to veterinary medicine out of a love for animals, these professionals often find their work is more about managing the emotional and practical needs of pet owners. Veterinarians must balance providing high-quality care to animals with addressing the emotional complexities and expectations of the people who care for them - while not burning out their teams or themselves. Truly no small feat!
