Veterinary Medicine Article Response
I recently read an article in the January issue of Veterinary Medicine and posted on dvm360.com titled: Our Profession's Identity Crisis, and felt compelled to submit this response. In the piece Dr. Allen offered a concise and troubling observation regarding the trend in our business to view ourselves either as slaves to the retail demands of our society, or as professionals who deserve to be treated like highly educated specialists and also enjoy a quality home life. Most practicing veterinarians today believe they must choose between sacrificing economic success or time with family (a growing concern given the high number of women in the profession who want to be with their families despite the pressures to pay off school loans.)

Veterinary Economics Article Response
Veterinary Economics provided us with the current State of the Veterinary Industry report in the August 2009 issue. In the article titled "Learning to Leave it" the author featured interviews with three veterinarians who all expressed their preference for spending time with family over the pursuit of financial success. The statistics in the article support the perception that veterinarians currently practicing today, place a higher priority upon family demands, as 80% of men and 84% of women state they wish that they could devote more time to family. The veterinarians who took part in the study must be conflicted, as 75 % of men and 71% of women believe they successfully balance their job with their personal life. An overwhelming majority of the participants believe they have a balance, but want more family time. The anecdotal inclusions provide the reader with insight that financial and career sacrifices will likely need to be made in order to achieve this sense of balance, that's not "balanced" the way the veterinarian would really like it. >>Read Complete Article
