Working More Than Expected: Unpacking New Grad Data
Manage episode 456349567 series 2880521
New grad veterinarians are clocking in far more hours than they expected — 5 extra hours a week, to be exact. It may not sound like much, but it adds up to six full weeks of additional work. That’s six weeks of your year gone. Financial planners Meredith Jones, DVM, CSLP®, AFC®, and David Aizuss, CSLP®, unpack surprising findings from the AVMA Business and Economic Forum and explore what’s driving the gap between expectations and reality. They dig into the data, break down the post-pandemic shifts shaping the industry, and ask the big questions about what it means for the future of veterinary medicine.
