    Veterinary Breakroom: The Biggest Silent Crisis in Vet Med Oct 21, 2024

    Welcome to the Veterinary Breakroom! In this special episode, Katie Berlin, DVM, talks with Liz Barton, MA, VetMB, MRCVS, MCIPR, about an often dreaded, rarely discussed, widely misunderstood health crisis that will in some way affect 100% of veterinary professionals: menopause.

    In one survey, 99% of women said perimenopause affected their work, and 42% said they had considered leaving their job because of changes associated with menopause. With the help of veterinarians and subject matter experts, Dr. Liz is creating a series of free videos intended to help veterinary professionals navigate the murky waters of menopause. Regardless of age, biological sex, gender identity, or family situation, we can all learn to better support ourselves and our colleagues through the physical and mental challenges that come with midlife.

    To understand more about the impact menopause can have on the veterinary workforce, check out The Menopause Report.

In this episode, we dive into a debate that’s gotten a lot of attention recently on social media. When Peloton, maker of premium fitness equipment, denied one veterinarian a “healthcare worker” discount, their response stirred up a conversation we’re continuing here: Do companies have a responsibility to recognize people who work in veterinary medicine as healthcare professionals? How can we approach this sensitive issue with people who don’t necessarily know what we do every day? Lace up your workout shoes and join us in the breakroom!
