Meet Board Member Dr. Julie Dahlke 🌟

Dr. Dahlke has served on the Minnesota Board of Veterinary Medicine for seven years as a veterinary member and will complete her term in early 2027. After practicing small‑animal medicine in the metro area since 1996, she retired at the end of 2025. Her passions include feline and geriatric medicine, preventive care, behavior, and building strong client relationships.

Dr. Dahlke joined the Board to give back to a profession she calls “a joy and a privilege,” and she believes deeply in the role of regulatory boards in protecting the public and supporting veterinary professionals.

Her advice for fellow practitioners: be intentional about enjoying your interactions with people. Caring for animals comes naturally to most of us - but meaningful engagement with clients makes the work even more rewarding.

Dr. Dahlke is especially interested in how the evolving role of veterinary technicians and the growth of telemedicine will shape the future of the field. She emphasizes the importance of balancing training, delegation, remote care, and hands‑on evaluation.

A final tip from Dr. Dahlke: stay curious. Checking in with VIN and keeping up with continuing education are key to staying current - and to finding joy throughout your career.

Mental Health Awareness - A recent study of 201 veterinarians reveals an important factor linked to mental health challenges in the profession: self‑dehumanization, the feeling of being “less than human.” About 10% of surveyed veterinarians reported experiencing this, and it was associated with higher levels of depression, anxiety, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress.

The study found that burnout and secondary traumatic stress play a key role in connecting self‑dehumanization to both anxiety and depression. These findings highlight the importance of supporting veterinarians with resources that address not only workplace stressors, but also how those stressors impact well‑being at a deeper level.

Building awareness and strengthening support systems can help promote overall wellness throughout the veterinary profession.

Today’s “Know the Rules” entry focuses on how long records related to dispensed veterinary drugs must be maintained. This requirement appears within the same statutory section governing prescriptions and labeling.

Minn. Stat. §156.18 subd. 4 states that records must be maintained for at least two years after the dispensing of a drug is complete, unless federal regulations specify otherwise. The statute presents this retention period directly in the chapter.
