In this episode, host Beckie Mossor, RVT, sits down with Heather Hopkinson, RVT, VTS-EVN, to discuss bringing rehabilitation services into general practice. Heather challenges us to reconsider which patients could benefit from rehab and physical therapy services, extending beyond just orthopedic post-op dogs. She also talks about how no fancy equipment is needed, but creativity can help. Finally, Heather explains how a practice can get started by simply offering some basic services in a 15 minute appointment slot.Contact us:Podcast@briefmedia.comWhere to find us:Cliniciansbrief.com/podcastsFacebook.com/clinciansbriefTwitter: @cliniciansbriefInstagram: @clinicians.briefThe Team:Beckie Mossor, RVT - HostAlexis Ussery - Producer &amp; Digital Content CoordinatorRandall Stupka - Podcast Production &amp; Sound EditingMichelle Munkres - Senior Director of Content

Rehab Tips for General Practice with Heather Hopkinson

This week, Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, RVT talk with large animal veterinary nurse an equine nursing specialist Heather Hopkinson about the differences - and similarities - of large and small animal veterinary care. Heather shares her story of a young girl working at stables to earn horse riding lessons to becoming a pioneer and leader in the large animal veterinary technician world. Beckie and Heather recount their days together in veterinary technician school, how the veterinary nurse initiative (VNI) may affect large animal veterinary professionals, and the shared struggles of all animal advocates. The trio explore how compassion fatigue and burnout are different in the large animal world, how language and words affect emotions, and Heather explains why all veterinary nurses are at risk for attrition and unhappiness if they don’t find meaning and purpose within - and outside - the veterinary profession. This is a great conversation that applies to anyone working in the veterinary industry. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!! PLEASE LEAVE US A REVIEW!
