This is extremely frustrating!Dear veterinary SDN community,
UW-Madison SVM has implemented a new policy that in light of their hospital short staffing issues, that they are going to force fourth year students into making up for this labor shortage through more unpaid work. This policy would essentially extend the work day to up to 16 hours and the work week to up to 70 hours. Again, this is all uncompensated labor. Fourth year students are already working 7 days a week.
Please sign this petition in solidarity to preserve the veterinary student work-life balance and well-being to repeal this expoitative policy. These are our future doctors! We need to be part of the change for a better vet culture and future. The petition is being presented to administration today but will still be collecting signatures of support. The petition has already gathered nearly 500 signatures!
To read more extent about the petition and to add your signature of support, please follow this link here: 8pm Treatment Petition
Thank you!
And it also makes me wonder what clinical hours/duties look like from other colleges. From what I’ve be told, tOSU “limits” their clinical students to 80 hour per week.
