Christopher M. Fulkerson's work spans veterinary oncology (cancer treatment in companion animals) and, more recently, the psychosocial and workplace well-being aspects of veterinary medicine, including caregiver burden in pet owners and burnout/stress among veterinary healthcare teams. Recent publications describe training programs (acceptance and commitment training) aimed at reducing stress and burnout transfer within veterinary workplaces. This suggests a research program bridging clinical veterinary oncology with occupational and caregiver mental health in veterinary settings.
