THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING IN VETERINARY VISIONARIES STORYTELLING EVENT!

With employee retention too big of an issue too big to ignore, Veterinary Visionaries set out on a mission to learn more. More than why people are leaving their job; why are they leaving the profession? The dismal stats aren’t effecting change. That’s why the data needs to be humanized to better understand what’s at the heart of the angst.

How do we get people who fell out of love with
the profession to fall back in love...and stay?

That’s the big solve for the Veterinary Visionaries 2023 Solving Spring Event generously supported by CareCredit. And now, it’s happening through stories

Communicating from the heart.

Veterinary teams were asked to share their stories about what made them fall in love, stay in love, or fall out of love with veterinary medicine. Then, they were asked what could have been done to solve their issues — or make their love even stronger.

MAYBE YOU CAN RELATE?

Check out stories here

A love letter to the profession.

The ultimate deliverable will be a compilation of content available to leaders everywhere. Emotionally charged and passionate, the hope is that these stories will intensely elevate awareness, inspire change, and reverse the employee satisfaction and retention trend.

A profession-wide solution space.

Veterinary Visionaries®, a collaborative effort of leading veterinary organizations working together to solve the profession’s biggest challenges, created its first crowdsourced solving campaign in May 2022.

This pilot event — generously supported by Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health, CareCredit, and IDEXX — addressed pervasive and rapidly growing issues among veterinary teams — mental health, psychological wellbeing, and suicide prevention.

A panel of mental health and veterinary professionals reviewed all submissions and ranked each based on systemic impact, evidence based approach, feasibility, sustainability, and reach. A Solution Squad is hard at work creating an implementation plan based on the winning idea that will be provided to the entire profession in Fall 2023.
