Research shows that trusted financial guidance helps veterinarians thrive, not just survive. That’s why CVMA has partnered with Sabadoodle to offer the 90-Day Money Mentorship Program. Financial stress is a leading cause of burnout, especially among early-career veterinarians navigating the shift from classroom to practice. Anxiety over money can impact care quality, productivity, and retention.

Sabadoodle accelerates the transition from “learning to earning” by removing financial distractions that delay professional confidence and productivity. By addressing financial anxiety early, early-career veterinarians can focus more completely on clinical development, potentially shortening the productivity ramp-up period.

Program Highlights
In just 90 days, Sabadoodle’s mentorship empowers participants to gain confidence, clarity, and control of their money while beginning to fund their biggest goals—requiring only one hour per week!
