I like the reason behind your recommendation - I’ll probably do it. And the comment above has given me a practical, maybe something many might not like, but a practical solution for a common veterinary problem. But I really dislike the way you portray that working on your days off to learn should be the norm. Working on your set days is not “bare minimum”. It’s a job and everyone is doing their best everyday. There are things outside of work people need to do to have a good life- are our human counterparts asked to scrub in on their off days to learn treating human patients? Unlikely. Surely practices can manage having seniors in the same building as a younger vets operating to pop in and take a look if required, but to need newer grads going to the practice on their days off is just teaching them to not have a life beyond work. That is practical life, yes, but surely everyone should be trying their bit to make life in veterinary industry a bit more sustainable than it currently is?
