One Vet's Journey to Compassionate Veterinary Care

Congratulations to Dr. Allen Schoen on being named ​one of the ​top 15 most influential veterinarian​s​. Join us as Dr. Schoen reflects on the epiphany he experienced using his Cornell training with a masters in neurophysiology and behavior to understand, from a​ ​scientific perspective, the underlying mechanisms of acupuncture. He shares with us the insights gained from one of the first controlled studies on use of acupuncture with a group of animals scheduled for euthanasia as all traditional options had failed. Could acupuncture improve their quality of life when western methods weren’t working? What other modalities have heavily influenced integrative medicine? Also, find out how and why a career dedicated to creating more compassionate veterinary care has now ​evolved into​ addressing mind body wellness for the caregivers. Join us for insights into one vet’s journey that is now dedicated not just to the animals but for creating compassion in all aspects of veterinary care​ and offering a more expansive perspective on being of benefit to all beings​.
