Neurologist and Neurosurgeon Dr. Sean Sanders joins the podcast to talk about how General Practice is changing and must continue to change to both reduce veterinarian burnout and increase access to care. Dr. Sanders and Dr. Roark discuss how fragmenting general practice into "wellness" and "urgent care" could potentially benefit doctors, techs and pet owners. They then begin to unpack how innovation is currently being affected by requirements from states around the establishment of VCPRs.
