Embracing altruism: A journey of discovery through the rainforests of Africa & IndonesiaDr. Richard Quinn, DVM, DVSc, DACVO

The key to career satisfaction is to actively shape your career path as you transition through the Early, Middle and Later Year phases of career development. Sometimes in the midst of this marathon, we start to recognize that, although we are working hard, we still feel unhappy and unfulfilled. Dr. Quinn draws on his journey of discovery of Great Ape conservation in the rainforests of Africa and Indonesia as well as concepts from physician leaders in psychiatry to present a thought-provoking discussion of

embracing altruism and tuning into the strengths, resilience, talent and passion of who we already are.Dr. Richard Quinn is a 1981 graduate of OVC and obtained ACVO board certification in 1996. Following

5 years in academia teaching undergraduate veterinary students, residents and graduate students, he returned to private practice, establishing the Veterinary Eye Specialists in Denfield, ON. He has lectured across Canada and Internationally. Dr. Quinn serves on both the Canadian and global boards of the Jane Goodall Institute; and is the Founding Director of Docs4GreatApes – an organization developed to improve the health of Great Ape populations through education. An avid wildlife photographer, he has trekked the rainforests of Africa and Indonesia photographing Great Apes.
