Leadership and veterinary practice management are consistently evolving and cover a variety of subjects. Within each of those subjects are micro-topics. The best lectures are those that are customized to perceived gaps in skills, abilities, and knowledge. Common overarching topics in veterinary medicine include Leadership, Human Resource Management, Inventory, Safety, Controlled Substance Management, Inventory, Marketing, and Financial Applications. Additional topics that are team-oriented include customer service, teamwork orientation, and train-the-trainer programs for those that onboard fellow employees.
Below is a list of common gaps to consider. Some leaders know the importance but struggle with getting from the ‘why’ to the ‘how’, with successful implementation.
