With May being Mental Health Awareness Month, Dr. Rick Mitchell (part-owner of Fairfield Equine Associates in Newtown, CT) talks about ways to avoid burnout and succeed in veterinary medicine.

While chatting with Turpin Mott, NVA’s Chief Community Officer, Dr. Mitchell also touches on what has changed in equine medicine since he started in the ’70s and his time as an attending veterinarian for the U.S. Equestrian Team at several Olympic Games.
