#149 The Impact of Age in Veterinary Medicine
Manage episode 389206148 series 2900678
In this episode, Dr. Cari Wise discusses the impact of age in veterinary medicine.
She explores how age can affect the perspectives and assumptions of both clients and veterinary professionals.
Older clients may be assumed to have limited financial means or knowledge about veterinary care, while younger clients may be judged as irresponsible or unknowledgeable.
Dr. Wise emphasizes the importance of stepping out of judgment and providing consistent recommendations and education to help clients make better choices for their pets.
She also highlights the impact of age on veterinary professionals, with younger professionals experiencing imposter syndrome and older professionals feeling insecure around younger professionals.
The key is to challenge these beliefs, believe in oneself, and practice self-acceptance and self-love.
Key takeaways from this episode:
- Age should not be used as a determining factor for a client's ability to understand or make decisions about their pet's care.
- Older clients may have more resources and be more financially stable than assumed.
- Younger clients should not be judged as irresponsible or clueless, as everyone starts with limited knowledge and experience.
- Consistency in recommendations and providing education can help younger clients make better choices for their pets.
- Age can also impact veterinary professionals, with younger professionals experiencing imposter syndrome and older professionals feeling insecure around younger professionals.
- It is important to challenge our limiting beliefs and recognize that all veterinary professionals are qualified and have valuable contributions to make.
- Practicing self-acceptance and self-love is an essential component of creating a sustainable veterinary career
