  • Dr. Nathan Peterson talks about Cornell’s new burnout study
    Jun 11 2022

    More than 99% of veterinarians surveyed said they’d encountered useless or non-beneficial veterinary care in their careers, according to a new Cornell-led study that documents the prevalence of futile care for the first time. The authors use a working definition of futile care as continuing treatment when relevant goals can no longer be reached.

    On this episode of Vet Candy IRL with host, Dr. Shannon Gregoire, we meet one of the authors of the study, Cornell's  Dr. Nathan Peterson.  Dr. Nathan is an associate clinical professor with the section of emergency and critical care and lead author of the study.
