Daily Vet Life: Work-Life Balance for Veterinarians

Dr. Colleen Best hopes a result from the pandemic is that veterinarians can put to rest the saying you should work like you don't have a family and you should parent like you don't work.

“I hope we bust the myth that we have to work like we have no family and parent like we don’t work,” said Dr. Colleen Best. iStock/Filadendron
