Being a veterinarian is incredibly rewarding, but horse doctors also face significant challenges in the workplace that are unique to practice life as an equine veterinarian. Work-life balance, injury risks, compassion fatigue, and financial stress from educational debt are all factors that horse doctors may find weighing heavily on their mental health.

This , let us remember to prioritize mental health in the workplace so that we can be the best practitioners possible for ourselves, colleagues, clients, and beloved patients. If you or someone you know is struggling, please remember that HELP IS AVAILABLE.

If you are an AAEP member in the U.S. and Canada, the AAEP encourages you to take advantage of the free counseling and support services offered through the Healthy Practice Member Assistance Program. This exclusive AAEP-member benefit provides short-term, solution-focused therapy to you and your household family members — and it can even extend to all your practice employees at the greatly reduced AAEP program rate!
