I am conducting dissertation research on the protective factors and strengths-based resources that help licensed veterinarians thrive -- centering what builds resilience rather than focusing on burnout and crisis alone. I would be grateful if you would be willing to share my anonymous survey with your local NCVMA members. It takes approximately 10 minutes to complete and is open to licensed DVMs.

Findings will be shared broadly and used to develop practical, evidence-based well-being resources for the profession.

About the survey:

My name is Christi Brunz, RVT, B.S., and I am in the final phase of completing my Master of Science in Applied Biosciences at Kansas State University. For my capstone project, I am investigating the key barriers that limit participation of veterinary clinics in clinical field trials. Using a mixed‑methods research approach and collaboration with the veterinary community, this study aims to evaluate clinic perceptions, identify common challenges, and translate those findings into practical, actionable solutions to support more efficient development of new veterinary products

My name is Erin Frey, and I am a veterinarian and professor at the North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine. I am part of a group of veterinarians from the International Society for Companion Animal Infectious Diseases (ISCAID) recruiting participants for a research study to learn more about veterinarians' preferences for perioperative and postoperative antimicrobial use in dogs. To participate you must be 18 years or older and be a licensed veterinarian who treats dogs to participate in this study.
