Relief Veterinary Services
Striving to offer support to veterinarians; whether a sick day, maternity leave, vacation, or simply needing a regular or occasional day off to reset, unwind, and reflect. Dr. Wallis has been serving as a relief veterinarian for two years and counting. She travels within northeastern Oklahoma and southeast Kansas and has provided services to more than ten veterinary hospitals in the region, ranging from corporate to rural clinics including veterinary rehabilitation, shelter work, general practice, and a mobile unit. This has expanded her experience and knowledge in the field and allowed her to become a versatile ally for fellow veterinary clinics.
The relief schedule is ideally prepared at least one month in advance, but if you have a last-minute request due to extraneous circumstances it is always worthwhile to reach out in the event of any cancellation. There are a certain number of weekdays available for relief work and travel is minimized to 60 miles from Bartlesville, unless special circumstances are arranged. Rates vary and can be discussed further via email. After contact and agreement for work, a simple contract stating the agreed upon dates, rates, and arrangements will be sent via email.
If you are interested in scheduling, please contact Dr. Wallis via text or schedule relief.
“It would be my privilege and honor to professionally represent your practice in the event of needing temporary relief. Many have inquired why I would accept the challenges of traveling extensively with no consistency versus serving in the same practice. While every job has its perks and downfalls, I have learned to embrace and actually enjoy the variances between practices and lean on excellent hospital staff and technician’s guidance to assist in finding materials, etc. I try to be flexible while still maintaining quality standard of care. I love meeting new people and seeing the different cultures in each veterinary setting. I also love learning new techniques from other colleagues and bringing fresh ideas to practices. My policy is to follow the AVMA guidelines and the Oklahoma Practice Act. I will do my best to provide the highest standard of medical care while covering your hospital but also provide reasonable options for patient treatment.”
The CDC recently provided a study* releasing alarming and heart-breaking data concerning an increased suicide rate in veterinarians, and among that an increased rate in female versus male veterinarians.
There is no easy answer, but awareness has certainly provided support options. My daily prayer is for strength and endurance for each of my colleagues through the stressors of our profession.
