Ep 13: The Whole Veterinarian- What We Can Learn From Equine Ambulatory Practice: Meet Dr. Stacey Cordivano

Have you ever wanted to find more joy in your life but feel weighed down by client demands, student debt, and running your mobile house call practice? You're NOT alone! Join us today as we talk about everything from burnout to our favorite personal development resources to help you be the amazing person in this world that you were meant to be, BEYOND your veterinary degree! Dr. Stacey Cordivano joins Dr. Eve today to discuss all this and more. She is a graduate of Penn State University and the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine, is the founder of Clay Creek Equine Veterinary Services in Chester County, Pennsylvania. The aspects of ambulatory practice that she enjoys most include emergency medicine and chiropractic care. Based on her experiences in equine practice over the past 14 years, Stacey is passionate about personal development and financial education topics. In May of 2020, she started production of The Whole Veterinarian Podcast as a way to share these topics with her veterinary colleagues. Stacey is a co-founder of The Sustainability in Equine Practice Seminar series and is also excited to bring her knowledge to the AAEP Wellness Committee for the 2022-2025 term. Stacey truly believes that in order to thrive in veterinary medicine, we must also remember to focus on developing our own sense of fulfillment outside of our careers.  Topics Covered In This Episode: Burnout Business owning while parenting Taking breaks Sustainability The Whole Veterinarian Podcast Personal Development Resources Links & Resources for Dr. Stacey Cordivano: Need more inspiration on personal development & finance topics?
