Moral Injury: Knowing What’s Right, but Not Being Able to Do What’s Right
The simplified definition of moral injury is knowing what’s right, but not being able to do what’s right. In the veterinary profession we are frequently confronted with situations that can result in moral injury. This session will explore moral injury starting with well-known global examples, and then move to the moral injury experienced daily in veterinary medicine. The information will help differentiate moral injury from burnout or compassion fatigue. These three situations are related, and can be overlapping, but understanding the difference is crucial to choosing the best strategies for recognition, healing, and resilience.
