Supporting those who guide the next generation of veterinary surgeons is central to the future of the veterinary surgery specialty. Aligned with ACVS’s strategic objective to update training and certification, ACVS is pleased to share the new dedicated Supervisors’ Well-Being Resources Page to equip program directors and resident advisors with essential tools for effective leadership. A similar page has been developed for residents and candidates to build resilience and navigate their careers.
This companion resource page offers practical tools to help supervisors foster healthier training environments, recognize when a resident may be struggling, and respond with confidence and care. Strong mentorship doesn’t happen by accident; these resources are designed to help program leaders show-up for their residents at moments when it matters most.
ACVS strongly recommends that supervisors complete unconscious bias training once every six years. The Supervisors’ Well-Being Resources page includes a free on-demand webinar from the American Veterinary Medical Association for training programs that do not already have a designated resource for their teams.
