2023 Large animal veterinary wellbeing research: The reality might be more positive than the perception.

Year: 2025

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Merck Animal Health recently completed its 4th Veterinary Wellbeing Survey in the United States, shedding light on burnout, well-being and mental health in the veterinary profession. The latest study offered insights revealing that veterinarians are generally more satisfied with their careers, with 77% expressing extreme or moderate satisfaction. Despite this, veterinarians perceive their colleagues to be less content, with only 43% reporting similar levels of satisfaction. Furthermore, when compared to the general U.S. population, veterinarians demonstrated higher career satisfaction. Among the 4,634 veterinary respondents, only 2% identified as food animal veterinarians. To gain insights into this specific cohort, we analyzed and compared them to their veterinary peers.
