Reseña del libro "Being a vet in the 21St Century: The Job, the People, Their Future (en Inglés)"

This book is about being a vet. It is not about what vets do - but how they do it... Being a Vet in the 21st Century is built around real vets' Personality Traits. This is a unique approach which uses psychological methods to find out more about vets. The project was initially set up to discover if vets shared common traits, but has since expanded into looking at the whole landscape of working as a vet through the Personality Trait lens. We look at many aspects of working as a vet - from that first point in time when the 14 year-old Rosie makes her decision to become a vet, all the way through university training to then discover a 26 year old Sophie who's childhood expectations have all been met - or not. Using our new understanding of vets' personal strengths, Being a Vet in the 21st Century discovers how vets cope with the changing commercial landscape that they now find themselves working in: It has been estimated that over the next 10 years, nearly 75% of all vet practices will be owned by large businesses. This means that vets can no longer rely on finding their first job in a small and supportive family-run clinic. Much more likely is they will be slotted into a finely tuned and 'managed' business within a few days of leaving university. They risk feeling they are a small (and possibly isolated) cog within a large machine. This change actually suits the personalities of many vets. Many will relish working in a team - 'doing vetting' within treatment guidelines given to them by their managers. But some vets are less well equipped to work under these restrictions for long. The working conditions in commercial businesses (and increasingly in profit-driven private practices) often turn out to be less than favourable and not very supportive. As a result, some vets struggle to cope. We hope to find out who these individuals will be. This knowledge will help us to ask, "Do you have the right personality to be a vet?" Then, turning our magnifying glass onto veterinary education - the 5 years at vet-school - we discover that the people now entering the profession are actually a different type of person than those applying 15 or 20 year ago. This may be partly due to the universities who are actively selecting students who are more suited (personality-wise) to be more focused on the service aspects of being a vet than on the scientific ones. Which is good - right? Maybe not - because those students with personality traits who will be liked by their clients are not necessarily equipped to withstand the other challenges that this very varied and stressful job throw at them. Speaking of which, vets and other professionals are reporting major changes in their relationship with the public - the people that pay their salaries. We look at this, and consider what skills and strengths a person may need - to still be a really good vet whilst at the same time not being despised by their patient's owners. Being a Vet in the 21st Century discusses the mutating veterinary landscape and asks how vets are coping with the pressure of sky-rocketing client expectations and business-owners' demands. And asks how they plan to handle the future. Finally the book brings it all back together and suggests ways that vets can be happier and healthier by recognising a great veterinary contradiction: the notion that certain Types of people do indeed make very good vets - and paradoxically, those same personality traits make them vulnerable to unhappiness and stress. The author concludes by introducing the reader to his pioneering and snappily-titled test:- his So-You-Want-To-Be-A-Vet-Test. A test that all aspirant young people should take before jumping onto the one-way educational 'escalator-of-excellence'. Being a Vet in the 21st Century; What's it like Being a Vet; I want to be a vet; How do I become a vet; Should I be a vet. Do the right people become vets.
