When I left veterinary practice over 20 years ago to join the animal health industry, things looked very different. After being onboarded into what was then the early version of pharmacovigilance, there were no SOPs — not provided, not available, not even referenced. PV was a much smaller, simpler space.
 Today, we’re swimming in SOPs especially in PV driven by evolving regulatory expectations, higher case volumes, and increasingly complex global systems.


In PV, pressure is unavoidable but burnout doesn’t have to be. The question becomes: What practices, habits, or systems help you perform under pressure while protecting your well‑being?

A well-trained professional works with greater efficiency and confidence. Even when workloads are high, time invested in training pays dividends by reducing effort, improving quality, and increasing productivity. Taking time to learn may slow today's work, but it accelerates tomorrow's results.
