It involves adapting behavior and care recommendations based on cues from pet parents, pets, and team members, establishing an environment of trust and integrity that extends to the entire community. Trust advocates focus on building strong relationships and an environment where everyone feels heard and supported, aligning with the pillars.
Resilience & Adaptability: This competency encourages viewing challenges as opportunities for growth, acknowledging that the veterinary industry, while rewarding, can also be emotionally and mentally taxing. To be resilient, we must practice self-compassion and extend that compassion to others. This means recognizing when we need assistance and not hesitating to ask for help when it's needed.
