In this professional meeting, Elanco offers not only specialization training in veterinary medicinecontributing to the development of professionals, but also provides advice and relevant information to help the veterinarian in caring for their well-being.
With the concept “Cheek to Cheek”, inspired by the song from the movie “Top Hat” performed by Fred Astaire and Ginger RogersElanco wants to symbolize the vision that the veterinary profession demands maintain a rhythm and balance that allows the responsibilities of veterinarians to be reconciled with their professional well-being.
“The veterinary profession is very vocational and goes beyond ensuring the health of animals. Assume this Responsibility means facing daily challenges which, although they are rewarding, can complicate the work and affect the well-being of veterinarians, as demonstrated by several surveys on the work stress of our group. At Elanco, we want to help professionals improve the balance between work and well-being. To do this, it is essential to have not only technical knowledge but also tools that help maintain this harmony. The “Cheek to Cheek” concept symbolizes this vision.” explains Amanda Andreveterinarian and Marketing Manager, PH Prescription Products, Iberia of Elanco Animal Health.
