John Volk, a business consultant serving the global veterinary profession, has written and lectured widely on veterinary wellbeing, both in the US and Europe. He is the principal investigator of several major, representative studies of veterinarians, a group that has displayed higher levels of burnout, serious psychological distress and suicide ideation than their non-veterinarian counterparts. His presentation, Techniques for Reducing Burnout and Improving Wellbeing, features results of extensive research among veterinarians, most recently in the fall of 2021, that examined the impact of both behaviors and personality on wellbeing and mental health. Sophisticated statistical analysis helped identify specific personal and management techniques that foster a healthier, happier veterinary work force.
