Participant Feedback

When asked what aspects of the course liked best some responses were:

...I enjoy Dr. Wootan as a speaker. She has specific suggestions but does a nice job of laying the foundation so that she doesn’t get ahead of anyone.

...Encouraging and really a refreshing way to look at the mental health problems facing Vet med.

...The presenter seemed very passionate about the subject

...I love the number of tools provided by Dr. Wooten. I am hoping to share burnout prevention strategies with young vet tech students and this was far more helpful than I expected. Well organized, well presented, very valuable.

...Remembering that many veterinarians struggle and that there are steps to take to help deal with problems more effectively
