The CVMA has been looking at ways to complement wellness programs and resources that are currently available for Canadian veterinarians and veterinary students.
Here you will find pertinent resources and information from numerous sources to help support the personal well-being of veterinarians and veterinary students, with a focus on education, awareness and prevention.
