Creating a Culture of Wellbeing by Design
Generating organizational wellbeing solutions for veterinary medical education through evidence-based approaches, design-thinking, and change management practices.
A Program with Purpose
We know that there are higher rates of distress in veterinary medicine than compared to the general population. Individual solutions have not been effective in addressing this complex problem long-term. P2C™ shifts the focus from the individual to the education environment. In a program facilitated by experts in organizational change and wellbeing, leaders who are ready to implement meaningful change will be provided with the tools, resources, and funding to implement systemic changes.
The Pathways to Change (P2C)™ program combines design-thinking and change management approaches to provide a pathway for institutions to systemically improve organizational wellbeing. Combining in-person, virtual, asynchronous content and peer-to-peer learning, participants will be guided through a process that considers the unique challenges faced by their organizations, how to design system-level changes tailored for their community and assess efficacy.
AAVMC’s Pathways to Change (P2C)TM program was developed in partnership with Capstone Solutions Consulting Group, LLC.

This presentation will provide participants with the current research results related to first-ever national faculty wellbeing study in the veterinary profession. This study will highlight data points for discussion and provide evidence-based approaches and recommendations for consideration. Environmental factors and wellbeing metric comparisons between academia and non-academic workplaces that impact wellbeing in the profession will also be discussed.
At AAVMC, we believe that personal and community wellbeing, even in high-performance environments like medical education, is not only possible, but crucial. This course aims to expand the current knowledge of wellbeing; its connection to diversity, equity, and inclusion; and to help students create their wellbeing care-plans prior to starting veterinary college.
