Dr Alejandra Arbe-Montoya a PhD candidate from the University of Adelaide and Julie South discuss:
- Why veterinarians are leaving clinical practice,
- Moral Distress – what it is and why it needs to be included as part of the curriculum at vet school,
- How setting personal boundaries can help when you find yourself morally distressed,
- What types of communication you need to practice,
- How to handle Moral Conflict, and
- What being a Conscientious Objector means in the veterinary context.
When Dr Ale's not doing her PhD research, she works as an emergency and critical care companion animal veterinarian in Adelaide, Australia.
A few years back, Ale was close to calling it quits on her veterinary career. She’d had enough and wanted out. Not any more - today she's a staunch advocate in improving veterinary wellbeing in-clinic!
