Simple? Not so much.

Listen to PetDesk's Mary Schwartz, CVT along with other veterinary professionals and industry experts explore the true realities behind vet practices on our veterinary podcast. Topics include how pet parents experience care, where veterinary client communication breaks down, and how veterinary technology can either help or hinder the client journey.

We’re talking to real people working in and around clinics to uncover real solutions for common problems all veterinary teams face. With new episodes dropping every two weeks, these not-so-simple topics are meant to be interrupted.

Telling someone they will be fine is not support. Dr. Ellen Nicholson, veterinarian, practice owner, and founder of The Practitioners Lounge, joins Mary to talk about what compassion fatigue and burnout really look like in veterinary medicine, how managers can recognize and address it without making people feel like they are failing, and why investing in your team's mental health is also just good business.
