Course Focus and Learning Objectives

Ethics Exhaustion: When Your Sense of Right is Wronged is an open-enrollment, self-study course is based on the archive of a MightyVet webinar.

Both the webinar and this archive course were made available to the veterinary community via the financial and administrative donation of VetMedTeam. We believe in the MightyVet initiative.

The webinar was the 3rd in a series of free webinars addressing compassion fatigue, burnout, ethics exhaustion, decreased career satisfaction, and suicide. Unaddressed the outcome is often career and life threatening.

This course is based on the archive of the webinar and is appropriate for veterinarians, credentialed technicians, and practice team members, along with vet and tech school students.

Upon completion of the course, the student will be able to discuss:

  • compare and contrast the new concept of Ethics Exhaustion with Compassion Fatigue
  • recognize how Ethics Exhaustion affects team members as individuals and the veterinary profession as a whole
  • give examples of techniques to mitigate the effects

Participation Feedback

.....As a shelter veterinarian, EVERYTHING the speaker said hit home!

.....Understanding the difference between compassion fatigue and ethics exhaustion.

.....To remind me and my team that ethics exhaustion and compassion fatigue are real things and shouldn't be ignored.

.....Right on, the truth was spoken, put words and concepts into things that I have felt and known to be true, but have not been able to pinpoint or put words to the feelings

.....Ethics exhaustion is a very real issue in every practice I’ve worked in, but until recently there hasn’t been discussion of it. I always felt that I was either weak in my assertions or I had to leave the practice. This course was extremely relevant to what veterinary professionals are going through on a daily basis.

.....The whole course was beneficial to me because I had never heard of Ethic Exhaustion until today.
